John Krokos was released from a U.S. jail on compassionate grounds two years ago.
But the Kamloops man has just been named as a defendant in a B.C. government lawsuit targeting another group of drug smugglers.
The unit at 1188 Richards was one of three searches conducted on Oct. 12, 2021 by the Nanaimo RCMP’s Federal and Serious Organized Crime section, said the court document, which was filed last week.Article content He was arrested in Puerto Vallarta in 2012 after American law enforcement agents posing as underworld figures infiltrated his organization and provided him with encrypted BlackBerrys. Krokos distributed the devices to his co-conspirators, believing they were a secure method for arranging cocaine shipments. Little did he know he was enabling U.S. agents to monitor drug shipments for years.
The new lawsuit says that police in Nanaimo “commenced an investigation into the illicit importation, exportation and trafficking of controlled substances involving multiple Canadian citizens.”Nukina was observed by police over several months in 2021 “conducting numerous short-duration meets with various individuals, which often included the passing of small packages to these individuals, which is consistent with drug trafficking.
They also stopped and arrested Graham and “located half a kilogram of cocaine and a kilogram of phenacetin, a buff/cutting agent used in preparing cocaine for street-level sale,” the court documents said.
