Customs agents in Thessaloniki, Greece, made a significant drug bust at the city's port, seizing approximately 93 kilograms (205 pounds) of cocaine. The illicit substance was discovered on a ship that had traveled from Ecuador to Thessaloniki, purportedly transporting bananas. The shipment was intended to be further transported by a French company to Romania overland.
The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) in Greece, responsible for overseeing customs operations, reported that during a routine inspection, customs agents utilized X-ray technology to scan a container. Inside the container's cooling system, they uncovered 80 concealed packages containing the cocaine.
