Mile Pajic: Man acquitted over cross-Channel cocaine seizures

Cocaine was found on a lorry which had arrived from Calais, the Home Office said

A man has been found not guilty of smuggling drugs after Border Force seized cocaine at Dover.

The Home Office said officers found 96kg of the drug on a lorry that had arrived from Calais on 6 September.

Bosnian nationals Miodrag Ivankovic, 44, and Mile Pajic, 45, both of no fixed UK address, were charged with attempted importation of a Class A drug.

Mr Pajic was found not guilty after a trial at Canterbury Crown Court.

Ivankovic pleaded guilty before the trial and is due to be sentenced at the same court on Thursday.
