Two guilty of smuggling £500m of cocaine in UK's biggest seizure

Two Turkish men have been found guilty of smuggling more than three tonnes of cocaine after what was said to have been the biggest seizure of the class A drug in the UK.

Mumin Sahin and Emin Ozmen were found guilty by a majority verdict at the high court in Glasgow.

Charges against co-accused Kayacan Dalgakiran, Mustafa Guven, Umit Colakel and Ibrahim Dag were found not proven by majority verdict.

The drugs, estimated to be worth £500m, were found inside the ship MV Hamal about 100 miles off the coast of Aberdeen in April 2015.
