A shipowner accused of smuggling 2 tons of heroin into Greece on the Noor 1 cargo ship in June 2014, on Monday told the court hearing the case that he accepts some culpability but was not responsible for the shipment.“I admit that I am not innocent,” the suspect, identified by his initials M.G., told the Piraeus Criminal Appeals Court on Monday. “I agreed to do the shipping side of things but said I would have nothing to do with the drugs,” he added.M.G. said that the smuggling of the narcotics was arranged by a broker, identified as G.B., who had allegedly asked him to use the Noor 1 for the same purpose in the past as well. The shipowner, who is being held in pretrial custody, also said that the 500 kilograms of the drug found by police in a storage room in his home in the affluent suburb of Filothei had been transported there by the property's caretaker. A total of 33 people are on trial in connection with the case.

Greece?! I told that imbecile Mississippi, not Greece!
I guess this is what the free shipping option gets you. I should've chosen to pay a little extra for quality shipping and handling.

Fucking darknet markets, always screwing up my orders...

As long as you didn't finalize early you're okay.  Dude's argument is so dumb too.  The heroin on the boat was someone else's.  The same thing with the heroin in my house, and the heroin in my arm. Definitely swim's heroin.  You should go after that guy quickly.

I guess he just panicked and went into denial mode, he just should've seriously spoken to a good attorney first.

On an unrelated note, I think it would be badass to build a special isolated, clean, ballast tank just for heroin/coke transportation on a ship. Have the dope sitting in the clean chamber, and if a significant risk of discovery is presented, just have a remotely operated pump system fill the tank with sea water and drain. Without any packaging, the evidence would be washed away efficiently if you built it right.

You could fill the tank with my tears as it washes out to sea.  Even just one of those packs would be mighty fine by me!

I feel the same.


If only we could have mighty quantities of opioids.
You should come to the coast and wait on a cat 4 or stronger hurricane with me. Be sure to bring a diesel generator, some shop lights, steel wedges and sledge hammer, and most importantly a plasma cutter. 
I'm pretty sure we'll be able to hear what sounds like a child that's trapped in one of those pesky cII safes in the pharmacy down the street from me. It's our duty to save that child!
