 | Bloomberg released an in-depth expose detailing how MSC “became a prime drug-trafficking conduit for Balkan gangs.” MSC issued a statement strongly denying the accusations. The case drew fresh attention this fall when the U.S. nailed Montenegran Goran Gogic for working with the crews and port workers of MSC to move over 20 tons of cocaine. The U.S. charged him not only with masterminding the massive 2019 MSC Gayane seizure, but other smuggling incidents involving additional MSC ships. MSC goes so far as to praise seafarers from Montenegro saying that they are hard-working, honest, and good at their jobs. |
