Summary
The Dominican Republic seized a record 9.5 tonnes of cocaine, worth $250 million, in a banana shipment at Santo Domingo’s Caucedo port.
The drugs, shipped from Guatemala and destined for Belgium, mark the country’s largest drug bust, surpassing a 2006 seizure of 2.6 tonnes.
Authorities detained ten suspects and highlighted increasing trafficking activity through the Caribbean.
Analysts at InSight Crime warn the region is becoming a key smuggling route for cocaine to Europe, where demand has more than doubled since 2011, leveraging the Dominican Republic’s major transport hubs.
Honestly, people don’t realise just how little this makes any sort of difference.
A few weeks of the markets in a few particular places being a bit dry, if even that.
So fucking moronic letting this massive trade be ruled by criminals and actively using societies money for a war that is completely fucking useless.
Bro, we here in Belgium were waiting for that. Why the hell do you steal our goods?
Yeah, get your own lol
is the picture related? I wonder who had to dispose all the bag like this for the photoshoot
Damn no wonder my guy can’t get shit
