Dogs that are busy drugs help find a cocaine record hidden on board in South Korea in an operation with the help of the FBI

South Korea discovered and seized Tinnah Cocaine The authorities told AFP on Friday, hidden on a Norwegian ship bending it.

The Korea Coast Guard said they found tinnitus, which they suspected of pure cocaine on a Norwegian ship that left Mexico and stopped in Ecuador, Panama and China.

The operation was launched after the South Korean authorities met intelligence from American agencies – investigations at the FBI and Internal Security Office (HSI) – that the ship was carrying hidden drugs.

The Coast Coast Guard said that the Coast Guard, Korea and Customs Customs, have coordinated a large -scale search process “consisting of a joint research team that includes 90 officers … along with two drugs developed dogs.”

After the ship was installed in the eastern coast port in South Korea, the team immediately boarded the ship and “discovered a hidden cabin behind the ship’s engine room.”

The authorities said that the drugs were packed in 56 bags, each carrying between 30 to 40 kilograms (about 66 to 88 rugs) of the drug, thus reaching about the tinnitus.

“The preliminary field tests confirmed the suspected cocaine,” Coast Guard official in Korea told AFP.

“The Nubia is the largest in history, the largest of the previous five times of the previous record, which was 404 kilograms of metamphine,” a Customs service official told AFP.

They added that the value of the street estimated at 697 million dollars.

The authorities launched a joint investigation team to interrogate the ship’s captain and its crew around the original, the intended destination of drugs, and the road used to transport them.

Investigators also said they are looking into possible relations with international drug trafficking unions and will be cooperating with the FBI and HSI.

South Korea has a long time between countries with low drug use worldwide, thanks to its strict laws and a strong social stigma.

The process follows other major cocaine attacks on ships – and in open seas – all over the world this year. Only last week, Portuguese police said that the officers recently confiscated nearly 6.5 tons of cocaine from a semi -concrete container, or the so -called “NARCO SUB”, who objected off the Azer while it was linked to the Iberian Peninsula.
