A drug gang that brought cocaine worth 180 billion won to Korea, which can be administered by 2 million people at the same time, has been caught.
The case is the first case in which a drug gang member smuggled, processed, and distributed liquid cocaine into Korea through a ship, and at the same time, it is the largest cocaine caught during the distribution process.
According to the police on the 19th, the Central Coast Guard arrested a total of three people, including a Canadian drug gang member A (55) and a Korean man B (27), who tried to trade in Korea after receiving 2 kilograms of cocaine on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act (manufacturing, attempted sales, and possession).
Mr. A and others are accused of smuggling liquid cocaine in steel containers into Korea through container ships and processing 60 kilograms of solid cocaine somewhere in Gangwon-do.
The maritime police launched an investigation after obtaining intelligence that a Canadian drug gang member was trading a large amount of cocaine smuggled through ships from abroad.
As a result, the Coast Guard arrested two people, B and C, who were trading cocaine while hiding at a trading site on the Han River in Seoul on the 10th and confiscated 2 kilograms of cocaine.
Later, on the same day, a Canadian criminal gang member A, a cocaine supplier, was arrested somewhere in Gimpo.
He used to smuggle cocaine through ships in the United States and Canada. He turned out to be a high-level figure in a Canadian criminal organization with a history of being arrested.
