Vesco linked to large scale drug smuggling ring
Rhode Island ledgers list Meyer Lansky and Robert L. Vesco among millions in a four raid seizure that netted nearly 4 tons of marijuana and about 400000 in cash. Twenty one arrests include ten Florida natives. A Jamaica fishing boat Dorchester and another vessel are tied to the operation. Officials say threads link multiple seizures, possibly the largest US drug network.
