西班牙当局在阿尔赫西拉斯港缉获了藏在香蕉集装箱中的13吨可卡因，这是西班牙历史上最大的可卡因缉获量，也是世界上最大的可卡因缉获量之一。

这批集装箱来自厄瓜多尔瓜亚基尔（Guayaquil），是西班牙国家警察和厄瓜多尔官员协调行动的一部分。厄瓜多尔官员根据该出口商过去的非法贩运历史，拦截了这批货物。

13,065公斤可卡因被藏在集装箱内的香蕉盒后面，精心安排以逃避检查。

然而，西班牙海关监管局和国家警察官员使用税务局的专用“美杜莎”移动扫描仪检查了这批货物，发现里面装有可卡因。

这是西班牙在欧洲查获的第二大单集装箱毒品案件，仅次于德国最近查获的35.5吨毒品。

这家进口商是一家西班牙公司，多年来一直从厄瓜多尔接收大量水果，这使得官员很难分析和识别受污染的货物。

查获货物后，西班牙当局在阿利坎特和马德里进行了五次有针对性的突袭，逮捕了一名嫌疑人，即该进口公司的一名女性合伙人。

与该行动有关的另外两名经理目前在逃。

西班牙官员报告称，去年截获了近142吨可卡因，毒品流入的增加使西班牙成为欧洲毒品的重要入境点。

比利时和荷兰这两个前主要毒品门户加强了港口安全，加剧了通过西班牙港口的贩运活动。

根据西班牙警方的消息来源，这次缉获显示了企图在欧洲分销毒品的行动的规模。

西班牙中央缉毒队队长António Jesús Martínez在一份声明中表示，由于西班牙国内能力有限，缴获的可卡因很可能是运往欧洲的。

此前，在2023年从厄瓜多尔缴获的一批可卡因中，曾创下9.4吨的记录。

panish authorities have seized 13 tons of ***e hidden in a container of bananas at the port of Algeciras, the largest ***e seizure in Spain’s history and one of the largest in the world.



The seizure of the container, which arrived from Guayaquil, Ecuador, was part of a coordinated effort between Spain’s national police and Ecuadorian officials, who stopped the shipment based on the exporter’s past history of illegal trafficking.



The 13,065 kilograms of ***e were hidden behind a screen of banana boxes in the container, carefully arranged to evade inspection.



However, Spanish Customs Surveillance Service and National Police officials inspected the shipment using the Tax Agency’s Specialized ‘Medusa’ mobile scanner, detecting bricks of ***e packed within.



This is Spain’s second-largest drug bust in a single container across Europe, only surpassed by a recent 35.5-ton seizure in Germany.



The importer, a Spanish company, had been receiving large fruit shipments from Ecuador for years, making it difficult for officials to analyze and identify contaminated consignments.



After the seizure, Spanish authorities conducted five targeted raids in Alicante and Madrid, arresting one suspect, a female partner in the importing company.



The other two managers linked to the operation are on the run.



Officials in Spain reported intercepting almost 142 tons of ***e last year, with an increase in drug influx positioning Spain as a crucial entry point for ***s in Europe.



The increased port security in Belgium and the Netherlands, two former main drug gateways, has intensified trafficking activities through Spanish ports.



Per the Spanish Police Sources, the seizure shows the scale of operations intended to distribute drugs across Europe.



In a statement, António Jesús Martínez, the head of Spain’s central ***s brigade, said that the seized ***e was likely destined for European distribution due to the country’s limited domestic capacity.



The Algeciras seizure comes after a previous record of 9.4 tons of ***e that were seized in a shipment from Ecuador in 2023.

墨西哥海军在格雷罗海岸缴获3600公斤可卡因，9人被捕

墨西哥海军在格雷罗海岸拦截了一艘载有约3600公斤可卡因的船只，并逮捕了9名罪犯。

海军秘书处表示，此次行动发生在阿卡普尔科东南约133海里处，没收行动是通过空中和海上监视的共同努力完成的。

这一切都始于一架墨西哥海军飞机发现了一艘“快速”船，这是一艘走私者常用的高速船，船上有两台发动机和九个人。

海军报告称，该船载有102个黑色包裹，每个包裹都装有砖块状的白色粉末状物质，可能是可卡因。

海军人员冲进去控制了这艘船，并扣押了疑似毒品和船上人员。据报道，9人中有6人是外国人，其余3人是墨西哥公民。

据海军官员称，嫌疑人的权利在逮捕过程中得到了尊重，符合人权标准。

被捕后，嫌疑人被转移到一艘墨西哥海军船只上，并被带到岸边，在那里他们被移交给当局，开始正式的法律程序。

墨西哥海军一直在努力破坏通过墨西哥太平洋沿岸水域的毒品转运。

格雷罗州和附近的米却肯州通常是南美运往美国和其他国际市场的毒品的中转站。

据Insight Crime称，许多敌对帮派控制着该地区，包括哈利斯科州卡特尔新一代（CJNG）和几个当地鲜为人知的团体。

上个月，墨西哥海军在该地点进行了一次破纪录的突袭，缴获了8.3吨毒品和6艘走私船，逮捕了23名嫌疑人。

The Mexican Navy intercepted a vessel carrying around 3,600 kilograms of ***e and arrested nine criminals off the coast of Guerrero.

The Navy Secretariat says that the operation took place about 133 nautical miles southeast of Acapulco, and the confiscation was accomplished through a joint effort of aerial and maritime surveillance.

It all started when a Mexican navy aircraft spotted a “go fast” boat, which is a high-speed vessel commonly used by smugglers with two onboard motors and nine people aboard.

The Navy reported that the boat was carrying 102 black packages, each containing brick-shaped bundles of a white powdery substance likely to be ***e.

The naval personnel rushed in to capture the boat and seize both the suspected ***s and the people onboard.    Six of the nine nationals are reported to be foreign nationals, while the remaining three are Mexican citizens.

According to the Navy officials, the suspects’ rights were respected during the arrest, adhering to the human rights standards.

After the seizure, the suspects were transferred to a Mexican Navy vessel and taken to shore, where they were handed over to authorities to begin formal legal proceedings.

Mexico’s Navy is continuously working to disrupt the transhipment of drugs through Mexico’s Pacific coastal waters.

Guerrero and nearby Michoacan are commonly used as stops for drug shipments from South America destined for the United States and other international markets.

According to Insight Crime, many rival gangs control the region, including the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (CJNG) and several local lesser-known groups.

Last month, the Mexican navy conducted a record-breaking raid in the exact location, seizing over 8.3 tonnes of drugs and six smuggling vessels and arresting 23 suspects.
