Panamanian nationals

arrested seven Panamanian nationals in connection with the plot to smuggle and sell the cocaine in the New York area.
The narcotics were being transported by container ships docking on Staten Island for distribution along the East Coast, Hynes said.
An undercover detective from the District Attorney's office managed to infiltrate the organization and seize the drugs, which are worth approximately $10 million, Hynes said.
The bust, called Operation Final Voyage, was conducted with the help of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
