Portugal intercepts $500M heroin shipment
Italian Border Police and Customs seized over 2.6 tons of cocaine, valued at approximately 500 million euros ($570 million), off the coast of Portugal in the Atlantic Ocean. The drugs were found on a high-speed inflatable boat used for transoceanic smuggling, with smugglers rerouting illegal shipments from large ships arriving from South America. Four individuals were detained, including two Spaniards, a resident of Gibraltar, and an Albanian living in Italy, in cooperation with Spanish and Portuguese authorities. If this shipment is fully distributed, it is expected to generate revenue of around 500 million euros.
