The first of them, Eridan MG, aged 50, admitted to having been involved in transporting cocaine, but claimed that he had done it mainly to repay debts and make a living. According to him, his trafficking did not reach the scale alleged by the federal prosecutor. “I was at the head of a criminal organization, I participated in drug trafficking. I gambled and I lost,” admitted the defendant, who apparently had debts to his “employers”.

“I received transport orders and then looked for drivers to carry them out. The driver then kept me informed of the route he was taking and I, in turn, informed the owners of the drugs. When he left, the The driver never received the exact address, but only the country where he had to go. The address was given to him when he arrived in the country. On the way back, he brought back the money.”

If Eridan MG admitted to having made money through drug trafficking, he indicated that he did not collect millions, as recounted by the prosecution. “I earned enough money to pay my debts and live on,” he said.

In addition, according to federal prosecutors, conversations on Sky ECC show that the defendant used four pseudonyms and was in contact with Mexican criminals who controlled the Colombian port of Turbo. They might supply him with large quantities of drugs directly. “It’s not true, it’s a bluff,” said Eridan MG indignantly. “All kinds of things are being said regarding Sky ECC, but not everything that is said actually happened.”

At the same time, the prosecution announced that the man would also have been involved in the kidnapping of a driver who was transporting narcotics and would have stolen his cargo. “This story is different,” argued the defendant. “This driver told me he might carry out a transport. A few days later he called me to tell me that the car containing the drugs he was supposed to transport had been stolen. I was in Albania and I was summoned to explain myself, but also tortured by the Albanian ringleaders. So I promised to reimburse the money, but I clearly said that I was not responsible for this theft.”

The driver in question would then have had another chance to provide transport from Rotterdam. “There, he was immediately approached by the Albanian principals and admitted that he had sold this car to people in Paris for 45,000 euros. I then acted as guarantor so that nothing serious would happen to him and he refunded part of the money.”
