Spanish customs security officers have seized a 204kg shipment of cocaine in the Port of Barcelona. It had been sent to a gang that was dismantled last month, the Spanish Civil Guard said Sunday, 3 November. The shipment was in a container that arrived in Spain from the Dominican Republic. The seizure is part of the second phase of an operation that resulted in the arrest of 18 suspects on drug charges and the confiscation of one ton of cocaine in October. That first drug haul had arrived in Barcelona in a container carrying cotton from the Dominican Republic. The Civil Guard reports having seized 1,160 kilos of cocaine in a month from this gang.
