一名男子周四在布鲁克林联邦法院承认妨碍司法公正，他被指控在一名前重量级拳击手的毒品走私审判中试图向陪审员行贿高达10万美元。
穆斯塔法·弗特贾（Mustafa Fteja）在此案中认罪，根据与政府达成的认罪协议，他将于6月23日被判刑，刑期约为5至6年。
他是去年11月被指控密谋干扰前拳击手戈兰·戈吉奇（Goran Gogic）审判的三人之一。
戈吉奇的审判原定于去年11月开始，但尚未举行。他对违反和密谋违反《海上禁毒执法法》不认罪。如果罪名成立，他将面临10年至终身监禁的刑罚。
弗特贾自被捕以来一直以15万美元保释金获释。法庭文件显示，在弗特贾多次打电话给一名被描述为”约翰·多伊#1″的陪审员，试图让其在史泰登岛见面之前，他已经认识该陪审员。
根据指控文件，在三天内的两次会面中，弗特贾告诉该陪审员，布朗克斯区的同伙愿意支付5万至10万美元，以换取”无罪”判决。
调查人员表示，证据包括几名被告用阿尔巴尼亚语和英语密谋贿赂计划的几段录音对话。
来自黑山的戈吉奇于2022年在迈阿密国际机场试图登机时被捕。
这些指控源于三次可卡因缉获事件，最引人注目的是2019年一艘货船停靠在费城Packer Avenue Marine Terminal时查获了19.8吨可卡因。

检察官指控戈吉奇和其他人通过商业货船从哥伦比亚经美国港口向欧洲运输了价值超过10亿美元的可卡因，他们”精心策划”了这一行动。戈吉奇被指控通过协调船员、哥伦比亚毒贩和欧洲码头工人来组织整个操作。
根据在线拳击记录，身高6英尺5英寸（约1.96米）、体重250磅（约113公斤）的戈吉奇从2001年至2012年参赛，赢了21场比赛，输了4场。
Man admits trying to bribe juror at trial of ex-heavyweight boxer accused of trafficking $1 billion worth of cocaine

A man charged with trying to bribe a juror with up to $100,000 at the drug trafficking trial of a former heavyweight boxer pleaded guilty Thursday to obstructing justice.
Mustafa Fteja entered the plea in Brooklyn federal court, where a plea agreement with the government called for him to serve roughly five to six years in prison when he is sentenced on June 23.
He was among three men charged in November in the plot to corrupt the trial of boxer Goran Gogic.
Gogic’s trial, originally set to begin in November, has not yet taken place. He has pleaded not guilty to violating and conspiring to violate the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act. If convicted, he faces a sentence of 10 years to life in prison.
Fteja has remained free on $150,000 bail since his arrest. According to court records, Fteja already knew a juror described in court papers as “John Doe #1” when he called him multiple times on his cellphone to get him to meet him on Staten Island.
Over the span of two meetings over three days, Fteja told the juror that associates in the Bronx were willing to pay him between $50,000 and $100,000 to return a not guilty verdict, according to charging documents.
Investigators said evidence included several recorded conversations of the defendants planning the bribery plot as they spoke in Albanian and English.
Gogic, who is from Montenegro, was arrested in 2022 while trying to board a flight at Miami International Airport.
The charges stem from the three seizures of cocaine, most notably 19.8 tons from a cargo ship while it was docked at Philadelphia’s Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in 2019.

Prosecutors allege that Gogic and others used “meticulous planning” to transport more than $1 billion worth of cocaine to Europe from Colombia through U.S. ports, using commercial cargo ships. Gogic is accused of orchestrating the operation by coordinating with crew members, Colombian traffickers and European dockworkers.
According to online boxing records, the 6 foot 5 inch, 250-pound Gogic competed from 2001 to 2012, winning 21 fights and losing four.
