    Massive cocaine haul on Australian yacht
  • In a covert operation, Australian enforcement agencies swooped in on a yacht headed to Australia last week and seized a whooping 1.4 tonnes of cocaine.

    5 Australian men have been charged with 'conspiracy to import drugs' and face life imprisonment.

    Australian market is attractive to drug-peddlers as drug prices are much higher than US.

    The haul would've led to almost 1.5 million street deals.

    Cocaine trade and the route it takes
  • EU Drug Trafficking Report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and Europol revealed that Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela were the "key departure points" for Europe-bound cocaine.

    The cocaine was then smuggled out in "vessels, private yachts or by air, among other methods."

    The report also revealed that Holland's Rotterdam Belgium's Antwerp were the key entry points in Europe.

    Credits:
  • In the recent years, the trafficking of cocaine through shipping containers has largely increased.

    The increased global maritime traffic make moving cocaine easier.

    The drug is slipped into legitimate containers by bribing port officials by breaking and replacing the security seal at the point of origin.

    Concealing cocaine with perishable goods also guarantees that the drugs move through controls more swiftly.

  • Do you know?

    When the smuggling gets tough, the smugglers get creative

  • The modes of trafficking cocaine involve the smugglers to be consistently creative to survive, using new smuggling routines such as "ingesting liquid rather than powder cocaine and concealing drugs in breast implants."

    Coke's link with its namesake drug
  • Aptly-named Coke, sources claim that up until 1903, Coke contained 9 milligrams of cocaine in one glass.

    While Coca-Cola has officially denied the presence of cocaine (past or present) historical data suggests otherwise.

    In 1904, the company replaced the "ingredient" with a cocaine-free coca leaf extract.

    Coke still contains the non-narcotic coca leaf extract imported these leaves from Peru and Bolivia till 1980s.
