3 arrested in U.K. after nearly $100 million worth of cocaine found hidden in bananas - CBS News
Overview
Three people were arrested in the U.K. after authorities discovered nearly $100 million worth of cocaine hidden inside a container of bananas, a major seizure that used commercial fruit shipments to conceal narcotics. The case demonstrates traffickers’ continued reliance on global supply chains and sophisticated concealment methods to move large quantities of drugs. Italy’s recent seizure of more than €200 million in assets tied to Matteo Messina Denaro shows how drug profits are laundered and reinvested across Europe, linking trafficking operations to high‑value money‑laundering investigations.
