Own employee works for criminals

A hard-working employee is employed for years by a large flower and plant exporter. He does well and grows from box worker to logistics planner. So he knows the company well, knows the processes of loading, which deliveries go to which customer, and he influences the planning.

A double life
It turns out that this planner has a double life. He comes into contact with figures from the underworld who seduce him into giving hard drugs to transports that leave the company every day.
The customers (receiving companies) also appear to have corrupt employees. One employee did not want to deal with the criminals, but eventually succumbed to the lucrative offer and started participating in the smuggling route. During the break, the employee deviously put narcotics into the carts intended for the company where the drugs were to go. He was handed over the drugs from the criminals in the parking lot near his work.

Photos of carts of flowers
Using a separate phone, he takes pictures of the carts in which the narcotics are hidden and sends them to the receiving party. Because of his criminal earnings, he has a lot of money to spend. Yet the planner begins to feel increasingly uncomfortable with his criminal dealings. His co-workers also begin to notice that he very often makes a tour of the shop floor and the refrigeration units during breaks. Colleagues do not look for it at first, but they do talk about it. This causes the planner to tell his criminal friends that his cover is starting to get noticed.

Threat and intimidation
The criminals do not agree with his story and begin to pressure him more and more to continue his criminal acts. They put him under psychological and physical pressure. Among other things, he is trapped, intimidated and threatened while commuting. Eventually, through investigations by the authorities, this employee runs into the lamp. He was arrested as a member of a criminal organization. His marriage is on the rocks and his criminally accumulated assets and property are seized.
