MIAMI (AP) - Thirteen former and current port workers were among 22 people
indicted on charges of smuggling cocaine through the Port of Miami,
authorities said Tuesday.
Smugglers, helped by the members of the International Longshoreman's
Association, transported 44,000 pounds of cocaine into the United States
from 1992 to 1997, authorities said.
Undercover investigators with the Customs Service and Drug Enforcement
Agency discovered that workers removed containers from the port before
Customs officials could examine them.
