Lithuanian Fisherman Accused in Cocaine Case | Perth News

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Off the coast of Perth, nearly 850kg of cocaine was allegedly smuggled into Australia—but the crew claims they were duped. A 24-year-old Lithuanian, Germanas Joneliunas, says he was paid €50k to help with a tobacco smuggling job, not drugs. Another defendant, Terrence Baker, insists he thought he was on a fishing trip. The Signal account used to coordinate the operation? Rees, who allegedly let someone else use it, claims she had no access and didn’t know what was happening. Five people stand accused, all denying knowledge of the drug import—court’s still deciding if deception absolves them.
