90 kg cocaine found in motor-graders in Emden
On MAr 23, 2016, 90 kg cocaine was found aboard the "Grande Amburgo" in the port of Emden by customs officers from Oldenburg and Hannover. They had got a hint from a foreign authority about suspected drug smuggling. Immediately after the ship entered port, a thorough search of the cargo of containers, vehicles and construction machines was started. Inside some motor-graders large plastic bags filled with cocaine were found which would have had a value of more than five million Euros. The ship left Emden again the same afternoon.
