The first accused criminal to be extradited from Denmark into the United States will face charges in Miami this week. U.S. Marshalls arrested the defendant, Camilla Broc, in her home country of Denmark. She will face Federal Court on felony charges of importing MDMA or "ecstasy" pills into Miami.
Broc had been under investigation for smuggling drugs from June 1997 through February 1998. Over ten years later, authorities from the Drug Enforcement Administration field office will finally press charges against the defendant. The federal government stressed that no amount of time will prevent the arrest of accused drug traffickers.
Florida law considers the serious crime of importing drugs into the U.S. a first degree felony. Convicted offenders could face a maximum prison sentence of up to 30 years behind bars. Depending on the amount of MDMA brought into the country will determine the mandatory minimal sentencing. This can range from 3 to 15 years. In addition to prison time, convicted MDMA traffickers will be fined between $50,000 to $250,000 financial penalties.
Drug trafficking is a serious federal, felony offense. The authorities thoroughly investigate crimes of this nature prior to extraditing an offender into the country. The stakes are very high and you need an experienced attorney to fight for your legal rights.
I understand that many accused drug traffickers may not be citizens of the U.S. or familiar with U.S. laws. I will review the charges, strategically plan your defense and question the alleged facts against you.
