A quantity of drugs, of the cocaine type, was seized this evening in the port of Durrës, inside a container with chicken meat.
The drugs were found in a container that had been transited from Brazil, on behalf of a commercial entity in Northern Macedonia. It is not known whether the amount of cocaine was determined at the place of origin or later between the meat. Police announce that there are a total of 40 packages weighing 45 kg and 500 grams, wrapped in the character of Dragon Ball, Goku.
No perpetrators have been identified or arrested yet, while the Durrës Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation into “Narcotics Trafficking”.
The port of Durres in recent months has become the destination of quantities of drugs, coming from mainly Central and Latin America, both by container and by ship. The substance is found mainly among bananas, but also other goods. In May, police found 59kg of cocaine on the Unistream ship from Colombia, loaded with coal. For this reason, these shipments are called high risk by the police and therefore go through a more detailed filter by both the port authorities and the border police and the criminal police.
Given the fact that cocaine shipments have been continuously detected in the port of Durres for at least the last two years, the authorities are convinced that the largest port in Albania has become a transit route used by drug traffickers.
