Fourth man in cocaine seizure sent for trial

THE fourth English man charged in connection with the largest cocaine seizure in the history of the State was yesterday sent forward for trial.

Perry Wharrie, aged 47, with an address in Essex, England, will stand trial next month alongside three co-accused who were all charged in connection with the massive €107 million cocaine haul off the Cork coast in July.

The men were arrested following the recovery of almost 1.5 million tonnes of cocaine from the sea off Dunlough Bay in West Cork on July 2.
