WEXFORD, Ireland — Irish Authorities have confirmed that a cocaine haul worth 157 million euro has been seized off the coast of Ireland in a stealth military operation. The police said in media statements that three suspects were arrested and a significant amount of drugs seized from the vessel that ran aground off the coast of Wexford in Ireland.
Gardaí said the 2,253kg bust on the Panama-owned MV Matthew – the ‘mothership’ which the South American gangsters used to transport cocaine to Ireland and other European countries – was the “largest drug seizure in the history of the State”.
