[Hellenic Police]
Police in Athens have released images of last week’s seizure of almost 110 kilograms of cocaine that was hidden in a container containing a cargo of frozen squid in Piraeus port on a vessel from South America.
The vessel on which the container was loaded had embarked from Peru, with its shipping documents stating that it was destined for Croatia.
A police video showed that the cocaine blocks, 100 of which were found, were stamped with the word “Summer.”
Thursday’s seizure occurred a day after a bigger cocaine shipment, amounting to 210 kilograms, was found hidden in a container of frozen shrimp that had arrived on a vessel from Ecuador and was en route to Albania.
