Noriega Indicted In Miami And Tampa Drug Ties
A federal grand jury in Miami accuses Manuel Noriega of taking a 4.6 million dollar bribe to shield Medellin cartel cocaine shipments and launder money while allowing smugglers to use Panama as a U S transit point. A Tampa case adds alleged marijuana export, a 1 million dollar payoff, and cartel launderings with Noriega’s protection. Judge William Hoeveler is cited as fair and patient, with defense lawyers Frank Rubino and Steven Kollin named.
