British yacht owner George Saul wanted two deck-hands to sail his yacht from Brazil across the Atlantic .
The two Brazilian sailors say they were tricked into smuggling cocaine by a British man.
Local police spent six hours searching the yacht for drugs, with the help of a sniffer dog.
In March 2018 , the crew went on trial in Cape Verde , protesting their innocence.
Four sailors were sentenced to 10 years in jail in Brazil in one of the country's biggest drug busts.
But Brazilian police believed the mastermind of the operation was Fox .
He was arrested in Italy in August 2018 , but extradition paperwork arrived too late, and he was freed.
Brazilian police inspector Andre Gonçalves feared Fox had gone into hiding.
Daniel says he still wonders who Fox really was - that "cool" British guy he once felt so grateful to, whose job advert then turned his life upside down.
He says he would "really like to see justice done", but has no wish to meet Fox ever again.
