Tens of kilograms of cocaine were found in bananas delivered to four supermarkets in France. The Guardian reported this.
Employees of branches of the Grand Frais network in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region of eastern France discovered more than 40 kg of drugs hidden under pallets of bananas.
How the drugs, whose country of origin is Colombia, ended up under the pallets and for whom they were intended, are being investigated by the police.
According to the prosecutor of the city of Dijon in Burgundy, Olivier Caracoche, 10 kg of cocaine were found in a shipment of fruit that arrived at the Grand Frais store in the city of Beaune. Between 10 and 12 kg were found in similar supplies for three other stores.
A spokesman for Grand Frais said the supermarket chain was working closely with the police, which itself ensured that “staff and customers will be safe.”
We remind you that the Ecuadorian police seized almost 3.2 tons of cocaine in the port of Machala, hidden in banana boxes that were supposed to arrive at the port of St. Petersburg.
Earlier in Greece, about 46 kg of cocaine was confiscated, hidden in a container with bananas on board a ship that was inspected in the port of Piraeus.
