“Narco subs” trafficking cocaine targeted in latest U.S. sanction

The U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned six accused drug traffickers, including four Guyanese nationals and two Colombians, for allegedly using boats and “narco subs” to traffic cocaine from South America to the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean. Paul Daby Jr. and Randolph Duncan are identified as leading the trafficking operations in Guyana, while others are implicated in facilitating drug transport, including a former police officer involved in an abduction case. Guyana’s geographical advantages and alleged corruption have made it a significant hub for cocaine trafficking, despite ongoing law enforcement challenges.
