Bahamian Drug Lord Rescued from Ocean | Bahamas News
Description
A Bahamian drug kingpin, Jonathan Eric Gardiner, faces federal cocaine charges after being rescued from a plane crash off Florida—where he was found with $30K in Bahamian cash. Accused of orchestrating shipments of over 2,000kg of cocaine into Georgia since late 2022, Gardiner’s notoriety includes an 18-year prison sentence for a similar plot nearly two decades ago. The case has ignited political firestorms in The Bahamas, where authorities are probing claims that a senior politician met with a DEA undercover agent to discuss a $30M shipment. With over 20 suspects already charged and 13 pleading guilty, Gardiner remains in U.S. custody, facing separate New York charges while his Georgia trial looms.
