A Scouse drugs trafficking cartel was brought down when an undercover police officer convinced its members he could smuggle 300kg of cocaine out of a port, according to reports.
Four British men, at least three who are from Merseyside, were arrested in the Greek northern city of Thessaloniki on June 9 when armed police stormed a luxury villa. The drugs were seized alongside a handgun, ammunition, mobile phones and geo-location equipment.
The drugs had been hidden in a shipment of bananas from South America, which had arrived in Greece via Calabria, Italy. The group are also believed to be linked to earlier shipments of cocaine.
