DETROIT – An accused cocaine kingpin who feds believe was planning underwater drone drug shipments in collaboration with a Michigan CEO will face trial in federal court.
A federal grand jury decided this week that the case against former Michigan resident Ylli Didani, 43, can go to trial. Didani is charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
It is alleged that Didani was the leader of an international drug trafficking organization with ties to the United States, Mexico, South America and Europe. The criminal complaint includes details of a scheme to use an underwater drone to smuggle cocaine to Europe, and WDIV Detroit has identified a Michigan CEO who was allegedly helping to manufacture the drone. The complaint also says law enforcement has seized more than $100 million-worth of cocaine from Didani’s organization.
