The largest shipment of cocaine ever detected in Paraguay has been intercepted by law enforcement. Over 4 tons of drugs ended up seized: they were in a container carrying bags of sugar and destined for the Belgian city of Antwerp.
The operation was carried out in a private port on the Paraguay River, on the outskirts of the capital Asunción.
The shipment, 4,013 kilos of cocaine, was worth more than $200 million.
The police are continuing to inspect other containers, so the seizure could be even larger, as confirmed by the Minister of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat, Jalil Rachid.
