CAPE VERDE COURT CONVICTS RUSSIAN SHIP CAPTAIN AND CREW OF DRUG TRAFFICKING

On 29 February, Rferl reported that a court in Cape Verde has convicted the Russian captain and crew of a cargo ship of drug trafficking and sentenced them to long prison terms.  The cargo ship was caught in February 2019 with the biggest cocaine haul ever seized in the country – some 9.5 tons.  It was traveling to Morocco from South America when it docked following the death of a crew member.
