A dramatic scene turned out to be a huge drug bust. Some 5-point-4 tons of cocaine worth 185 million U.S. dollars ,…were seized in Colombia last week by the country’s coast guard. Colombia’s naval authority said “If this illicit merchandise had arrived,… in the United States or Europe,…very surely that would mean 16 million doses on the streets of those countries”.
Another vessel was intercepted by Colombia’s armed forces on Sunday,… and 62 packs of cocaine totaling 1-point-five tons were confiscated. Despite decades of efforts to end drug trafficking,… Colombia stands as one of the world’s largest cocaine producers.
