More than one ton of cocaine, reportedly valued at US $40 million, was found in a shipment of Columbian avocados in the Dutch port of Rotterdam, according to an article by El Tiempo.

The seizure of 1,180 kilos was found in a shipment of 35 metric tons of avocados from the South American country. Eight Dutch citizens were arrested in the port.

“Passing by the North Sea, the ship arrived at the port of Antwerp in Belgium, and according to data we were assured that the container had not been lowered in this city,” stated the Director of Anti-narcotics of Columbia, Fabian Cardenas.

Cardenas added that after a week, the ship continued its course to the port of Rotterdam where the seizure was made.

Colombian authorities said they have not yet established which group of drug traffickers is responsible for this incident, however, local media are speculating that it could be the work of the “Gulf Clan.”
