Law enforcement officers discovered another smuggling of cocaine in the Yuzhny port, which was transported in bananas from Ecuador - its value was estimated at 10 million dollars. About this сообщает Office of the Attorney General.
The batch arrived from the Republic of Ecuador through the container terminal of one of the port operators in the technological cavities of marine refrigerators with a cargo of bananas in 50 briquettes. The gross weight is almost 60 kg.
Investigative actions aimed at identifying persons involved in the commission of a crime, bringing them to criminal responsibility and preventing the commission of new crimes are carried out.
The involvement of three previously detained members of an international criminal group — citizens of Albania, Romania, and Ukraine — in the smuggling of another batch of drugs is also being investigated.
Let us remind you that it was a week earlier security forces blocked the smuggling channel transit of wholesale consignments of drugs from Ecuador to the European Union: during a special operation in Odessa, three organizers of the drug business from the Italian mafia were detained.
