西班牙和法国海关当局在加那利群岛东北130海里处扣押了一艘悬挂坦桑尼亚国旗的货船,船上载有大约4000公斤可卡因。
此次缉获是多国行动Pascal Lino 2024的一部分。在一次引起执法官员怀疑的不寻常旅程中,里斯本海上贩毒分析和行动中心对该船进行了监控。
该行动通过反恐和有组织犯罪协调中心与国家警察和国民警卫队在全国范围内进行协调。
“Ras”号货船开始了一次不经济的航行,从土耳其出发,穿过地中海,最后抵达西非。
该船在塞拉利昂和几内亚比绍停靠,没有明显的装卸货物,随后向伊比利亚半岛进行了不寻常的移动,导致当局进行了更密切的监视。
西班牙海关监视特别行动船Petrel和法国海关巡逻艇DPF-3在该船从兰萨罗特岛航行130海里时协调了拦截行动。
据官员称,这一迅速行动阻止了毒品被转移到开往西班牙港口的小型船只上。
行动中逮捕了10名船员,其中包括7名土耳其国民、2名阿塞拜疆人和1名荷兰公民。
该船的船长也被捕,他来自土耳其。
尽管有严密的监控,找到隐藏的毒品还是很困难。可卡因被藏在货船货舱之间一个难以触及的隔间里,使官员很难找到它。
然而,经过彻底的调查,藏匿的物品被发现并没收。
行动成功后,Petrel号护送被扣押的货船前往兰萨罗特岛的Arrecife港,在那里卸下毒品,并将被捕的船员移交当局作进一步调查。
此次毒品缉获是Pascal Lino-Iborra行动的一部分,该行动是西班牙和法国海关机构于2017年成立的年度联合行动。
该项目旨在打击坎塔布里亚海、地中海和北大西洋的海上海关欺诈和非法贩运。
该行动不仅涉及海军和空军合作,还允许两国海关部门之间交流协议和最佳做法。
据一位高级官员称,该项目可以有效应对海上贩运,并加强有关国家之间的业务联系。

英文原文
Spanish and French customs authorities have detained a Tanzanian-flagged cargo ship carrying an estimated 4,000 kilograms of ***e around 130 nautical miles northeast of the Canary Islands.
The seizure was part of the multinational operation Pascal Lino 2024. During an unusual journey that raised suspicions among law enforcement officials, the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre for Drug Trafficking in Lisbon monitored the vessel.
The operation was coordinated nationally with the National Police and Civil Guard through the Coordination Centre against Terrorism and Organised Crime.
The cargo ship Ras has set off on an uneconomic voyage that began in Turkey and passed through the Mediterranean before arriving in West Africa.
After making stops in Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau with no apparent loading or unloading, the ship made unusual movements towards the Iberian Peninsula, leading to closer surveillance by the authorities.
The Spanish Customs Surveillance Special Operations Vessel Petrel and the French Customs Patrol Boat DPF-3 coordinated the interception as the ship sailed 130 nautical miles from Lanzarote.
Per the officials, the quick action prevented the drugs from being transferred to smaller vessels bound for Spanish ports.
Ten crew members were arrested during the operation, including seven Turkish nationals, two from Azerbaijan, and one Dutch citizen.
The captain of the ship was also arrested, who was from Turkey.
Despite the intensive monitoring, finding the hidden ***s became challenging. The ***e was hidden in a hard-to-reach compartment between the ship’s cargo holds, making it difficult for officials to find it.
However, after a thorough investigation, the stash was found and confiscated.
After the successful operation, the Petrel escorted the seized cargo ship to the port of Arrecife in Lanzarote, where the drugs were unloaded, and the arrested crew members were handed over to authorities for further investigation.
The drug seizure is part of the Pascal-Lino-Iborra operation, an annual joint effort between Spanish and French customs agencies established in 2017.
The project aims to combat maritime customs fraud and illegal trafficking in the Cantabrian Sea, Mediterranean Sea and North Atlantic.
The operation not only involves naval and aerial cooperation but also allows for the exchange of protocols and best practices between the customs departments of both countries.
Per a senior official, the project allows effective responses to maritime trafficking and strengthens the operational ties between the countries involved.
