"Two Colombian nationals with reputed links to the Cali-cocaine cartel are scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court in Seattle tomorrow, with the federal government alleging they were a part of the largest cocaine-importation case in the history of Washington state.

Dagoberto Nunez and Fernando Ramirez-Ospina are accused of importing nearly a ton of cocaine in June of 1987. A third man alleged to have been involved in the conspiracy was Gordon Krekow Jr., 37, a former Mercer Island resident who was slain earlier this month in his prison cell in Guatemala, where he was being held in connection with another cocaine case."
