Italy seizes over four tons of cocaine linked to Colombian Gulf Clan

By AP with Euronews • Updated: 07/06/2022 - 20:21

Italian authorities say they have confiscated 4.3 tons of cocaine with a street value of more than €200 million.

The Guardia di Finanza say the haul is one of the largest-ever drug busts in Europe and has dealt a blow to Colombia’s feared Gulf Clan.

The cocaine was seized in the northeastern Italian port city of Trieste following a yearlong investigation that also involved US Homeland Security and Spanish National Police.

Authorities have also issued 38 arrest warrants for alleged international drug trafficking in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Colombia.
