Two Turkish men have been found guilty of smuggling more than three tonnes of cocaine after what was said to have been the biggest seizure of the class A drug in the UK.
Mumin Sahin and Emin Ozmen were found guilty by a majority verdict at the High Court in Glasgow.
Co-accused Kayacan Dalgakiran, Mustafa Guven, Umit Colakel and Ibrahim Dag were found not proven by majority verdict.
The drugs, estimated to be worth £500 million, were found inside the ship MV Hamal about 100 miles off the coast of Aberdeen in April 2015.
