Chile: 108 tonnes of drugs found hidden in export timber
Chilean authorities have carried out one of the largest drug seizures in the country's history. Agents discovered cocaine and ketamine hidden directly in timber that was destined for export to Europe and the United States.
The discovery represents a significant blow against international drug trafficking networks that use Chile as a transit point. Officials found the drugs camouflaged in timber shipments, a method that demonstrates the sophistication of criminal organisations.
According to Bild, this is one of the most important discoveries in the country's history in terms of narcotics. The total amount of drugs seized amounts to 108 tonnes.
Investigations are ongoing to identify those responsible for the smuggling operation.
