JFK workers in drug running scam
Some 20 baggage handlers at New York’s JFK airport have reportedly been arrested and charged with drug running. According to the online news provider Ananova, it is alleged that the drugs were smuggled on to flights from Jamaica and Guyana, before being unloaded at JFK, hidden from customs officials, and smuggled out of the airport later. But a massive surveillance operation revealed what the group was doing, and prosecutors are now claiming that some 400 kilos of cocaine and massive quantities of marijuana were imported by the gang. Prosecutors also reportedly seized $500,000 in cash, four luxury cars and five guns. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that the employees had all been screened and security checked before being employed, and suggested that the group could have “just as well” been working with terrorists. She is reported as saying: “A network of corrupt airport employees, motivated by greed, might just as well have been collaborating with terrorists as with drug smugglers.”
