'I don’t know anything about it,' says truck driver charged with €2.1m drug seizure in Cork

It is alleged that there was a seizure of 93 packages of herbal cannabis with a weight of 107kgs

The accused, who travelled to Cork by ferry from Zeebrugge in Belgium on July 27 was already charged with cannabis possession and having the cannabis for sale or supply at the Port of Cork, Ringaskiddy, on that date. File picture: Larry Cummins

The investigation of a €2.1m drug seizure at Ringaskiddy last July saw a 59-year-old truck driver declaring when a new charge was brought against him: “I am not guilty and I don’t know anything about it.” 

Detective Garda Rory Fogarty brought the new charge against Robert Slivar of no fixed abode, but formerly of Ivanic in Croatia, at Cork District Court.
