Verila ship released by Irish
The Verila ship, which was detained by Irish customs on the 20th of December and later reported to be carrying 300 kg of cocaine, has been released by the Irish authorities and will sail from the port of Foynes today, reported the Shipping Company Bulgarian Marine Fleet, owner of the ship.
Earlier today, Kiril Domuschiev, who co-owns the Bulgarian Marine Fleet alongside his brother Georgi commented that "there is nothing strange in the fact that an attempt to transport drugs on board was made without the knowledge of the ship owner and the management of the crew".
The company thanked Irish investigators for "quick and effective actions in identifying the guilty persons" and pledged that it will continue to cooperate in the investigation. The Bulgarian Marine Fleet shipping company intends to take parallel legal actions against all those found to be complicit in the crime.
