They find 45 bales with 1,300 kilos of cocaine in a fishing boat in Camariñas

A fishing boat intercepted in Camariñas (A Coruña) on Wednesday afternoon contained some 1,300 kilos of cocaine divided into 45 bales. It is expected that the only detainee will pass this Friday at the disposal of the Corcubión Investigating Court number 2, on duty.

As confirmed to Europa Press by sources familiar with the case and judicial sources, and as shown by images broadcast by various media, the unloading of the drug took place early Thursday afternoon in the port in the presence of the detainee and the judge.

The device to intercept the ship, the Nuevo Furuno, had the participation of the Special Response Group for Organized Crime (Greco), the Drug and Organized Crime Unit (Udyco) of the National Police, as well as Customs Surveillance.

The Nuevo Furuno is a 12.6-meter-long wooden-hulled fishing vessel that is based in Camelle, in Camariñas, and was registered with the Ministry of Fisheries in June 1997.

The agents intercepted the ship in the vicinity of the port of Santa Mariña around 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday and proceeded to arrest a man. It is scheduled to pass this Friday at the disposal of the Court of Instruction number 2 of Corcubión, on duty.
