JAMES Blake Blee, the 62-year-old superyacht tour operator accused of attempting to import more than $20 million worth of cocaine through Newcastle Harbour, has been charged over the death of the Brazilian diver who drowned trying to retrieve the drugs.
Mr Blee, who has been behind bars since he was arrested in May while allegedly trying to flee the country on a one-way ticket to Singapore, was on Tuesday charged with manslaughter, two counts of people smuggling and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.
