Uruguay seizes 6 tons of cocaine worth $1B in country’s largest bust
Naval and customs officers in Uruguay seized a staggering six tons of cocaine this week, with authorities calling it the country's biggest bust ever.
The National Armada said in a press release that on Dec. 26 officers at the Montevideo port were checking four shipping containers with soy flour destined for Lome, the capital of Togo in West Africa.
Authorities said a scanner flagged “abnormalities” in the shipment, which turned out to be a total of 4,003 bricks of cocaine – about 4.4 tons of the drug. One container contained 3,089 bricks of cocaine, each weighing about 2.4 pounds.
West Africa? Part of the trade route:
Nearly a third of the cocaine consumed in Europe is smuggled there via Africa, local media reported.
Wonder if it was addressed to Hunter - is he still involved with the Ukraine kleptocrats?
