Spanish authorities have confiscated 11 tons of cocaine and arrested 20 people in two different operations against the smuggling of the illegal drugs inside shipping containers, Spain’s National Police said overnight.
Police said 7500kg of cocaine seized by agents in the northwestern city of Vigo was hidden between pieces of frozen tuna.
Investigators said that a criminal organisation was using a frozen seafood company as a front to bring the drugs from South America to Spain.
A separate sting by police in the Mediterranean city of Valencia led to the seizure of 3400kg of cocaine found in false bottoms of shipping containers in the eastern city’s port.
