The first batch of cocaine (30 packages) was hidden in the structure of a container from Peru filled with bananas. The refrigerated container was destined for a company in Antwerp. This company has nothing to do with the smuggling.
Nuts, fruits, and edible plant parts
The second batch involved 50 packages of cocaine that were also hidden in the structure. This container was filled with fruit, nuts, and edible plant parts and originated from the United States. This shipment was also destined for a company in Antwerp, which also has nothing to do with the smuggling.
HARC team
The HARC team, a collaboration between Customs, the FIOD, the Port Police, and the Public Prosecution Service in Rotterdam, is further investigating the case. The wholesale value of the narcotics is around 2 million euros, and the drugs have since been destroyed.
