Cocaine seized

Spain has seized 11 tons of cocaine imported from Albanian cartels and arrested 20 people in two raids, Spanish police said on Tuesday.

Packed in shipping containers, the drugs were shipped from Colombia then passed through Ecuador before being intercepted by police when they docked at two separate ports in Spain, one in the northwestern city of Vigo and the other in Valencia in the east.

"In just one week, we managed to remove 11,000 kilograms of cocaine from the market," Antonio Martinez Duarte, head of the drug and organized crime unit of the Spanish police, told reporters in Madrid.

In Vigo, police seized 7.5 tons of cocaine hidden inside a shipment of frozen tuna in what was the biggest seizure ever in Galicia, a region that has long served as a major gateway for drug shipments from Latin America to Europe.

Separately, police found another 3.4 tons of cocaine hidden inside double-bottomed compartments in containers that arrived in Valencia.

Of those arrested, most were Albanians, but also a Colombian, a Dominican national and several Spaniards, including a Galician businessman who allowed them to use his fishing firm to transport the drugs and whose identity was not revealed.

"The two operations were not connected, the only thing that connects them is that we believe they are both run by Albanian organizations," Martinez Duarte said.

The Spanish media talk about an "Albanian drug lord" who is behind the large load, however the identity of those arrested is not yet known.
