11 tonnes of Albanian mafia cocaine seized

Eleven tonnes of cocaine imported by the Albanian mafia has been seized in Spain in two operations. The cocaine came from Colombia via Ecuador and was found in containers that had arrived in the ports of Vigo, in Galicia, and Valencia. In Vigo cops seized 7.5 tonnes of cocaine concealed in frozen tuna fillets. Its the largest seizure ever made in Galicia, a region that has long served as a gateway to Europe for cocaine. The second operation, in Valencia, resulted in the seizure of 3.4 tonnes of cocaine hidden in the double bottoms of maritime containers. "The two operations have nothing to do with each other. The only link between them lies in the fact that we believe that the organisations behind them are of Albanian origin".
