On Wednesday afternoon, police, together with Customs Department officers, seized 98 kg of drugs suspected to be cocaine at the Freeport.
The drugs were found hidden in a container coming from Ecuador and destined for the port of Genoa.
The container, which contained frozen shrimp boxes, raised suspicion with Customs officials during a routine inspection. From further inspections, four bags containing the alleged substance were found between the boxes.
Police investigations and a Magisterial Inquiry are ongoing.
