Customs said on Monday its officials found €13 million worth of cannabis resin hidden inside industrial ovens in a container at the Malta Freeport Terminal.
The officials scanned the container which came from Morocco and was bound for Tripoli in Libya.
A series of scans showed material that was not part of the ovens. It took customs officers two days to dismantle the ovens and then they discovered 4,300 kg of cannabis resin.
It has been a productive week for customs officials who last week intercepted a separate 50 kilos of cocaine from a container that arrived from Ecuador with the final destination set for Slovenia.
