Employees of the Maritime Border Department of Gdansk, together with the Czech Customs Service, carried out a massive operation and seized 44 liters of liquid cocaine hidden in wine boxes. RMF24 reported this on Tuesday, December 17.
The estimated value of the drugs on the black market is 7.5 million zlotys (about $1.8 million).
A container with drugs arrived in Europe from a Panamanian port. The transport has to go through one of the European ports, and then through a customs post in Ostrava to Poland.
As part of the special operation, three suspects were detained: two residents of Lublin Voivodeship, aged 41 and 47 years, as well as a 53-year-old man from Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. They were all charged with involvement in an organized criminal group and smuggling large amounts of drugs.
The court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for three months.
We remind you that the largest shipment of cocaine weighing 9.5 tons in the country’s history was confiscated in the Dominican Republic.
It was previously reported that 3 tons of cocaine were found in Ecuador in boxes with bananas for Russia. The cargo is planned for delivery at the port of St. Petersburg.
