Gambia court convicts 8 of cocaine trafficking
October 12, 2011 by The Associated Press /
(AP) -- A court in the tiny African nation of Gambia has convicted
eight foreigners of trafficking cocaine and sentenced them each to 50
years in prison.
Officials also announced Wednesday that a Dutch citizen who was
charged in the case had died while incarcerated.
Four Venezuelans, two other Dutch nationals, one Nigerian and a
Mexican citizen had pleaded not guilty to the charges. Their arrests
led to the seizure of two tons of cocaine.
The fragile states along Africa's west coast have become major
trafficking hubs for cocaine on its way from Latin American coca
fields to the European market.
The coastline is dotted with small islands that are especially
attractive to traffickers. Part of the two-ton haul was found on an
island off Gambia's coast.
