Greek customs agents seize more than 90 kilograms of cocaine from a ship that originated in Ecuador

Greek authorities say that customs agents have seized around 93 kilograms or 205 pounds of cocaine at the port in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The cocaine was found on a ship that had sailed from Ecuador to Thessaloniki carrying bananas. Greece’s Independent Authority for Public Revenue said in a statement late Friday that the shipment was then due to be transported over land to Romania by a French company. Customs agents X-rayed a container and found 80 packages hidden inside the container’s cooling mechanism. The estimated street value of the cocaine was more than 2.9 million euros or $3.16 million.
