Paraguayan authorities have seized more than four tons of cocaine reportedly worth over $240 million.
The drug was seized in a shipment of sugar during a burst dubbed: “Operation Sweetness.”
Paraguay’s anti-drug agency reportedly said the cocaine was destined for Belgium.
The $240 worth of cocaine is reportedly the largest in Paraguay’s history.
The seizure was carried out in the country’s capital, Asuncion’s seaport, says Senad.
Senad indicated that after “detecting a suspicious shipment” it coordinated with other government agencies to carry out the drug bust, saying that currently more containers are being inspected and that “all investigative proceedings are focused on the criminal structure that set in motion the logistics of mobilizing the megaload mainly for the European continent.”
One person has been detained, a truck driver who allegedly dropped off the drug shipment at the seaport, Senad’s Minister Jalil Rachid told Paraguayan network ABC.
