The High Court in Glasgow heard James Stevenson has lodged a special defence of incrimination blaming two others.
A man accused of masterminding a worldwide drug smuggling ring with cocaine allegedly hidden in deliveries of fruit, has blamed two men who are currently behind bars.
It is alleged the class A drug was to be "concealed in deliveries of fruit" destined for the "Glasgow Fruit Market" at an address in the city's Townhead. Stevenson has lodged a special defence of incrimination for these charges and claimed the crimes were committed by Cross and a James White. Stevenson is also accused of a number of other charges. Among them, it is alleged he teamed up with another man for the "collection, storage and onward transmission" of £1.04m of criminal funds.
