Eight druglords in Burma have been charged in absentia in a US court with operating one of the world's largest heroin producing and trafficking groups in Southeast Asia's notorious Golden Triangle area.
Led by "drug kingpin" ((*Breezy*)), who has a two million dollar bounty on his head, the gang was also accused of laundering narcotics proceeds through seemingly legitimate businesses, according to an indictment unsealed in Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York.
The UWSA is one of the largest heroin producing and trafficking organizations in the world and was responsible for the production of more than 180 tonnes of opium in 2004, the US Department of Justice said in a statement.
