Cocaine dealer Edin G. has made procedural agreements with the Public Prosecution Service. His lawyer Laura Versluis confirmed this after reporting in the NRC . The Breda Bosnian G. appears to have been tried at a hearing before the court in Rotterdam on November 1. On November 16, the court approved the agreements and sentenced G. to seven years in prison and a fine of 1 million euros.

The conviction revolves around the import of two consignments of cocaine in 2020 totaling more than 2,400 kilos via the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg and the import of chemicals for the production of crystal meth.

Edin G (36) was born in Bosnia in the former Yugoslavia, but largely grew up in the Breda region after his parents fled the civil war in the 1990s.

Through his lawyers, he has repeatedly denied being involved in cocaine trafficking in the past.

D.E.A
This happened after his name appeared in various media in Sarajevo several years ago in connection with his alleged role in international cocaine trafficking. Crimesite published, among other things, documents that the American Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) prepared about G.

He is said to have initiated a successful series of cocaine transports to Europe from Peru in particular from 2006 onwards. In 2017, the DEA spoke of the 'Tito and Dino cartel', a 'super cartel' that operated from Dubai and that collaborated with the Irish Kinahan clan , the Italian Raffaële Imperiale and Ridouan Taghi. G.'s other lawyer, Leon van Kleef, says in NRC that no factual substantiation of this suspicion has ever been provided.

List
In any case, G. is, like certain Kinahans, on a list of the American Treasury. In April 2022 , the Ministry of Finance's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) started a hunt for the assets of the Kinahan clan and now also for those of G.

Assets of people on that list are frozen, Americans are not allowed to do business with them and the US imposes sanctions on foreign persons or companies associated with them.

Arrested
Edin G. was arrested in Dubai last year, like dozens of other suspects. The Netherlands has requested his extradition, according to NRC because, based on chat messages cracked by the police, Edin G. was suspected of involvement in the import of the two shipments of cocaine and the shipment of chemicals for the production of crystal meth, for which he has now been convicted.

Unknown location
G. was released again for unexplained reasons and the extradition did not go ahead. Negotiations were then conducted in silence with the judiciary in the Netherlands.

In case of trial agreements, a suspect waives his defense in exchange for a reduced sentence.

G. is staying at an unknown location. According to the NRC, it has been agreed that G. can serve his sentence in the Netherlands, but also in another country - probably Bosnia.

His uncle Mirza G. is serving a sentence in the Netherlands for money laundering. He filed a report against Edin G. in 2020 for threats.
