Libertad

The Libertad was an old tramp freighter that was registered in Panama but regularly sailed between Colombia and the U.S. On one voyage it was raided by US Federal Agents while it was docked in San Pedro Harbour. The agents discovered 100 kg of caffeine, with a street value of $8,000,000. The captain Rafael Ramos, the first mate Jorge Antonio San Martin and three others, all Colombians, faced smuggling charges.
