The Toronto Star is reporting that "German authorities said Wednesday they have seized more than 8 metric tons of cocaine from a container that was supposed to be carrying cacao beans, and two suspects were later arrested in Spain."
"The drugs were seized on Feb. 9. The arrests were made in El Ejido, in the Spanish province of AlmerÃa, on May 14.The container had arrived from West Africa and was destined for Spain, investigators said in a statement. Instead of cacao beans, officials found more than 400 packets wrapped in black foil, each containing about 20 blocks of compressed cocaine."
Remember the local yokels who were busted with 300 kilos of cocaine in Spain? They were convicted of smuggling 300 kilos of cocaine but didn't have to serve their time, instead they were kicked out of Spain and banned from returning for seven years. That is absolutely bizarre.
"The Audiencia Nacional (AN ) imposed four years and seven months in prison on Chad John Wilson, Jason Cyrus Arkinstall, Scott Ryan Smitna and Michael John Drybourgh – four Hells Angels and Canadian citizens arrested in August 2013 in Galicia, when they moved to pick up a shipment of 300 kilos of cocaine. In addition to establishing a fine estimated at 5,250,000 euros, the decision specifies that no convicted would serve their sentences in prison, but they will be expelled from Spain and may not return for a period of seven years."
Jason Cyrus Arkinstall was a full patch Hells Angel with the Mission chapter and Chad John Wilson was with Haney at the time. Chad later joined Hard side before being killed.
"Arkinstall was sentenced to six years and three months in prison in October 2022 after he tried to bring 90 kilograms of meth and 118 kilograms of cocaine into B.C. from Idaho on Oct. 23, 2020." He made parole for that conviction February 2026.
"Of the 45 people originally indicted for a trial that kicked off in January, 35 had already entered into plea deals with prosecutors, receiving maximum prison sentences of two years."
"Khalil Youssafi was sentenced to nine years and nine months in prison, but the penalty was replaced by a fine following his plea agreement. His brother Abdelghani Youssafi, however, did not bargain with the prosecution and was sentenced to two years in prison on a prostitution felony but acquitted of all other charges."
