Essen / Duisburg:
Germany: 190 kilos of cocaine in organic bananas
When unloading the banana boxes, a fruit importer from the Ruhr discovered suspicious irregularities in the shipment and turned to customs. Immediately the customs officers of the control unit made their way to the main customs office of Duisburg and began to search the cargo. Together with the customs investigators of the Customs Control Unit Essen that had arrived in the meantime, the entire consignment was searched and a total of 165 packages -each containing more than one kilogram of cocaine- were collected.
On the streets the cocaine would approximately be worth 14.4 million euros.
