Routine inspection at Paranaguá Port leads to 18th cocaine seizure this year

On the night of December 3, agents from SAVIG (the customs surveillance section of the Brazilian federal revenue service) at the Port of Paranaguá seized 322 kilos of cocaine in the Port of Paranaguá during an inspection action. The drug was hidden inside a load of ceramic boxes.

The drug bags were located during the routine work of inspecting and monitoring the loads that are handled at the container terminal. The agents have a high-precision scanner that helped identify and locate the tablets.

This was the 18th cocaine seizure at the Paranaguá port container terminal this year. In 2020 alone, more than 5.8 tons of narcotics were seized during inspection actions.

The drugs would have been shipped to the Port of Valencia, in Spain. So far, no arrests have been made.
