A shipment of over 8 tons of cocaine seized in Bolivia
The most important anti-drug operation in the country's history
Maxi seizure of cocaine in Bolivia: the largest anti-drug operation in the history of the South American country.
The Special Force to fight drug trafficking intercepted, in the Oruro area, 8.7 tons of cocaine coming from the province of Santa Cruz: the load was camouflaged in crates containing components for wooden floors destined for the Netherlands.
Four people were arrested, including a Colombian citizen considered the coordinator of the expedition. The drugs, it was learned, were identified on board a heavy vehicle of the company Maexa Srl - whose owner, Daniel LJ, has already been arrested -, which had in the past exported construction material to Bosnia, Germany, China, France and Belgium.
The estimated value of the seized goods is approximately 20 million dollars, which in the destination area amounted to at least 526 million dollars.
