Customs officials based in Rotterdam reportedly seized a shipment of over 8,000 kgs of ***e neatly concealed in a container loaded with bananas, Dutch prosecutors informed on Thursday, the greatest on record at the port.

A spokesperson mentioned that the drugs had traveled via the Panama Canal from Ecuador to Rotterdam before the sniffer dogs discovered them on a container check on 13 July. The seizure was kept confidential to assist in the examination, which is still ongoing.

The drugs having an estimated value of 600 million have been fully destroyed.

No arrests in this case have been made in the Netherlands so far, per the spokesperson.

委内瑞拉男子承认走私1400公斤可卡因阴谋

两名委内瑞拉公民分别于今天和昨天认罪，承认在国际水域的一艘船上密谋分销可卡因。

根据法庭文件显示，2023年5月16日，50岁的胡安·米兰诺(Juan Milano)和31岁的卡洛斯·马尔卡诺(Carlos Marcano)与另外两人被一艘美国海军舰艇及其海军和海岸警卫队人员在国际水域的一艘快艇上发现，当时他们携带了1400多公斤可卡因。这艘快速航行的船只没有国籍，没有一个船员表明他们的国籍，没有船旗国，也没有人声称自己是船长。

米兰诺将于12月14日被判刑，而昨天认罪的马尔卡诺将于12月13日被判刑。他们每人都面临最低10年的强制性监禁和最高终身监禁。联邦犯罪的实际刑期通常低于最高刑罚。联邦地区法院法官将在考虑美国量刑指南和其他法定因素后决定如何判决。

Milano和Marcano被起诉，这是美国海岸警卫队、美国海军、司法部（包括缉毒局）、国土安全部以及美国及其领土的部分检察官办公室之间的联合跨部门合作伙伴关系的一部分。

Jessica D.Aber，美国弗吉尼亚东区检察官；Jarod Forget，负责缉毒局华盛顿分部的特工；Derek W.Gordon，华盛顿特区负责美国国土安全调查（HSI）的特别探员；William P. Hicks II，切萨皮克地区海岸警卫队调查局负责人；在美国地区高级法官Raymond A. Jackson之后宣布了这一消息。

司法部的麻醉品和危险药物科协助了这项调查。美国多部门、多机构的南方联合特遣部队(JIATF-S)也协助了这项调查。

美国助理检察官Kevin M.Comstock正在起诉此案。

国会宣布，在国际水域的船只上贩运毒品是一个受到普遍谴责的严重国际问题，对美国的安全和社会福祉构成了具体威胁。

Two Venezuelan citizens pleaded guilty today and yesterday to conspiracy to distribute ***e on board a vessel in international waters.

According to court documents, on May 16, 2023, Juan Milano, 50, and Carlos Marcano, 31, were found with two others by a U.S. Navy ship and its Naval and Coast Guard personnel on board a go-fast boat in international waters while in possession of over 1400 kilograms of ***e. The go-fast vessel was without nationality, and none of its crew declared their nationality, the flag nationality of the vessel, or claimed to be its master.

Milano is schedule to be sentenced on December 14 and Marcano, who pleaded yesterday, is scheduled to be sentenced on December 13. They each face a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life imprisonment. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Milano and Marcano were prosecuted as part of a joint interagency partnership between the U.S Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, the Department of Justice including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and select U.S. Attorney offices in the United States and its territories.

Jessica D. Aber, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Jarod Forget, Special Agent in Charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Washington Division; Derek W. Gordon, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Washington, D.C.; William P. Hicks II, Special Agent in Charge, Coast Guard Investigative Service, Chesapeake Region, made the announcement after U.S. District Senior Judge Raymond A. Jackson.

The Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Section of the Department of Justice assisted in this investigation. The Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S), a United States multiservice, multiagency task force, also assisted in this investigation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin M. Comstock is prosecuting the case.

Congress has declared drug trafficking on vessels in international waters a serious international problem universally condemned and one that presents a specific threat to the security and societal well-being of the United States.
