Zitat:First drugs submarine seized in Spainhttps://www.janes.com/article/92918/firs...d-in-spain
Police forces in Spain have seized what is believed to be the first known submarine used to transport drugs into Europe from Latin America.
The submarine has been taken to the port of Aldan, in the northwestern region of Galicia, after being captured with two of its crew near the beach of O Foxo on 24 November. [...] The 20 m-long vessel carried 3,000 kg of cocaine estimated to have a street value of EUR100 million (USD110 million). Police said they are still to ascertain whether the vessel delivered the cocaine by crossing the Atlantic or picked up the cargo closer to Spain. It had come in close to the beach during heavy storms that had buffeted the region for several days.
The two men arrested are both Ecuadorean nationals. A third man who escaped by running off the beach was said to be not the same nationality.
