Cocaine-smuggling submarine reveals Europe's drug crisis
[BBC] This piece of history in the fight against international drug trafficking is now a trophy in the car park of the Spanish police academy in Ávila.However, it's not a rotting relic of a bygone battle: it's a symbol of a secretly growing phenomenon.
