2.2 tons of cocaine: Police in Colombia thwart smugglers’ plans
The Colombian police have confiscated 2,279 kilograms of cocaine in the port of the northern Colombian tourist city of Cartagena de Indias. The police found the drug packages in a container on the way to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. General Ricardo Alarcon of the drug police: “The drugs came from Ecuador with a destination in Europe. The cocaine should probably be distributed to Turkey, Spain, Italy and Albania.” Irregularities in the documents for the delivery of the goods had aroused the suspicion of the authorities. The container was then scanned and the cocaine was discovered. The drug traffickers are likely to have lost around $ 100 million in the confiscation.
According to the authorities, the drugs were intended for Europe and were confiscated.
