| Cocaine-smuggling submarine reveals Europe's drug crisis |
| 2023-04-21 |
| [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. Just last month, another sub was discovered off the Spanish coast - again in the Galicia region. "For more than 20 years traffickers have been using submarines to reach Africa and Europe, but these two are the first we've seized," explains Antonio Martinez Duarte, Chief Commissioner of the Narco Brigade in the Spanish National Police. "They are very hard to detect," he admits. |

| #2 iirc US and EU Ports have Dosimeters and/or Spectrometers - nuke detectors - installed at Ports to scan cargos for nuclear threats. |
