NEW YORK (AP) — A reputed Jamaican drug kingpin described by U.S. authorities as among the world’s most dangerous drug dealers pleaded guilty to racketeering and assault charges Wednesday, admitting his leadership in an international criminal organization that delivered drugs across the world for more than a decade.
Christopher Coke entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to charges that carry a potential penalty of 23 years in prison, substantially less than the possible life sentence he could have faced.
