Just relax and this will all be over soon."It was sent to a fisherman from Ukraine and an unemployed man from Teesside who were sailing to the middle of the Irish Sea to collect cocaine from a passing cargo ship, the MV Matthew.As it turned out, they needed plenty of luck and very little was straightforward.The two men were part of an audacious attempt to traffic more than 2.2 tons of cocaine into the UK and Europe.
