Europol has announced the bust of an international drug smuggling network and confiscated billions of dollars worth of cocaine.
A team of investigators seized 17 tonnes of the stimulant drug and assets worth about $87 million, with 15 individuals arrested during the operation.
The ring, one Brazil’s most active trafficking organisations, has flooded Europe with huge shipments of cocaine, according to Europol.
The organisation said the gang’s entire members were smashed, including Paraguayan suppliers, shipping outfits and money launderers who handled the proceeds.
