Portugal confiscates large cocaine shipment
Portuguese authorities announced the seizure of approximately five tons of cocaine aboard a container ship in the open ocean, coming from an unspecified Latin American country. This operation is considered the largest of its kind, as two non-Portuguese individuals were detained aboard the vessel along with an unidentified crew whose nationalities have not been disclosed. The ship was intercepted after being approached near a maritime security zone located 640 nautical miles from Lisbon. The operation resulted in the dismantling of a criminal cell specializing in drug trafficking to Europe. The Portuguese Navy and Air Force participated in this operation, which is among the largest drug seizures ever recorded in the region.
