Three men were planning to give a juror $100,000 to persuade a juror to acquit a former boxer accused of trafficking massive amounts of cocaine, according to federal court documents.

The New York City trial for former heavyweight Goran Gogić of Montenegro, who is charged with violating federal maritime drug law by smuggling cocaine on container ships, was scheduled to start Monday.

Instead, it was adjourned and the jury was dismissed, according to court documents.

The judge presiding over the trial in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, Joan M. Azrack, scheduled a status hearing for Dec. 17, according to a court document filed Monday.

On Sunday, a complaint including an FBI agent's claims against the trio in the alleged bribe scheme was filed in the same court.
