Bermuda's Supreme Court found a former Royal Caribbean waiter guilty of conspiring to import more than $424,000 worth of cocaine into the country via the ship he was working on, Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas.
Ricardo Stewart, 32, from Jamaica, denies conspiring to bring cocaine into the country. Prosecutors allege that their plan worked until packages containing 3.9 kg of cocaine were found hidden under a chair in the ship’s disco.
Stewart has maintained he is innocent and claims he barely knew the accomplices he was alleged to have worked with. Furthermore, he denies being involved in the drug trade.
