[Regnum] French customs officers seized more than 1 ton of cocaine, which was delivered to the port of Le Havre from Brazil, BFMTV reported on March 10, citing a source. According to journalists, a large batch of drugs was packaged in small packages and delivered with a load of sugar. Customs officers in Le Havre found a bag of sugar containing 100 grams of cocaine and became interested in the entire shipment. Drug Enforcement Administration officials were reportedly called to the scene. They seized about 50 bags of cocaine. Moreover, the container had previously passed through ports in Rotterdam and Antwerp. There is information that part of the shipment has already been unloaded in Belgium. “We can assume that initially there were about three tons of cocaine in this container,” the source told reporters.
As Regnum reported, this is not the first time such a large shipment of drugs has been intercepted at the port of Le Havre. In August 2019, customs also detected a shipment of cocaine weighing more than a ton. The prohibited cargo was brought from Ecuador via Antwerp. It was hidden in a shipment of hearts of palm. In February 2024, FSB officers stopped a large channel for the supply of cocaine to Russia from Latin America. They seized 641 kg of this drug in St. Petersburg. Those transporting prohibited substances were detained.
