Smugglers Charged In Polished Caviar Ring At Kennedy
Three men face federal charges in Brooklyn over smuggling millions in caviar from Poland to Kennedy Airport by disguising it in luggage. The case ties to a new endangered species trade rule requiring permits. Indicted are Eugeniusz Koczuk from Stamford, Wieslaw Rozbicki from Stamford, and Andrzej Lepkowski of Warsaw. They allegedly paid couriers to hide 19,000 pounds of sturgeon roe over seven months, earning at least $2 million. Lepkowski was arrested Oct. 28 after 1,000 pounds were seized at Kennedy.
