Spanish police seized a record 13 tons of cocaine hidden in a banana shipment at the port of Algeciras, marking the country's largest-ever drug haul. The shipment originated from Guayaquil, Ecuador, a known drug-trafficking hub. A woman linked to the importing company was arrested in Toledo, while two other suspects remain at large.
