More than 600 kg of cocaine are found in coffee shipment at Port of Santos

Joint action by Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service and the Federal Police resulted in the seizure of 605 kg of cocaine in the Port of Santos, on the coast of São Paulo, on August 02. The drug was hidden in a coffee shipment destined for Hamburg, Germany.

The container was selected for verification by the Federal Revenue through risk analysis criteria and inspection by scanning images.

After opening the cargo and removing the first rows of bags, which were regularly declared, other apparently tampered sacks were found. Among them were large plastic bags with cocaine inside.

The 605 kg of drugs were seized after inspection by the federal police, which is investigating the case. There is no information about prisoners.

That was the second cocaine bust this week in the Port of Santos. On Monday (2), 328 kg of cocaine were collected in a shipment of citrus peels destined for Antwerp, Belgium. The two seizures total 933 kg of the drug.
