About this listen
The story of the Freshwater Five is either one of the biggest drug busts in British history or one of its greatest miscarriages of justice.
In 2011 a group of fishermen living on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, were convicted of one of the largest, most audacious drug-smuggling plots in British history. They were accused of scooping up £53 mill ($69 mill) worth of pure cocaine in the dead of night from the middle of the English Channel.
The men were given combined sentences of 104 years in prison. But they maintain their innocence and are fighting to clear their names.
Presented by Raphael Rowe, a journalist who himself spent 12 years locked up for a crime he didn’t commit, this series delves into both sides of the case, exploring each twist and turn, to piece together the real Freshwater Five story.

It's a conundrum.

But I have some questions over Vince.
I find the reason someone had to travel to the mainland to escort him and his 2 friends back to the island very strange. If he was just an illegal immigration how did he manage to get 2 people to escort him and why he didn't make the journey on his own.
i do, however, believe everything Danny and the other 3 fisherman have said. They had too much to lose
to try to meet with a very large ship in the dark. They would have had time to carry out a transfer in 3 mins
I find it unbelievable that the police on the hill didn't take pictures and their excuses were were pathetic.
Well researched
