Spanish customs agents have seized a record-breaking 9.5 tons of cocaine hidden in a banana shipment from Ecuador. The drugs were discovered in a refrigerated container among 1,080 boxes of bananas. The boxes of cocaine were marked with various logos, indicating the involvement of a European criminal ring. The investigation began in July, and the shipment was destined for Portugal before being distributed throughout Europe. No arrests have been made so far.
