Polish authorities reported the seizure of 44 liters of liquid cocaine worth about 7.5 million zlotys ($ 1.85 million), reported "Reuters". The drug was cleverly hidden in boxes containing branded wine, quoted by News.bg.
Border service operation
Sea border guards in the Polish port city of Gdansk worked in cooperation with Czech customs officers to seize the drugs. The operation was carried out in the Lublin region, located in southern Poland.
According to the Polish border guards, the shipment of wine and hidden liquid cocaine was initially loaded onto a container ship in a Panamanian seaport. The cargo route passed through one of the European seaports and a customs checkpoint in Ostrava (Czech Republic) before reaching Poland.
Investigation and arrests
Three men have been detained as part of the investigation. Polish authorities have announced that further arrests are possible in the course of operations to identify participants in the smuggling channel.
