[01] Int'l cocaine ring dismantled in Greece
An international ring involved in processing, producing and selling
cocaine has been dismantled in Greece by the Special Control Service in
cooperation with the National Intelligence Service and the Drug Service
of the United States (DEA).
A cocaine processing laboratory was discovered in the region of Lakka,
close to the coastal Anavyssos district outside Athens, while a total
of 26 kilos and 135 grams of cocaine were discovered and confiscated
and five arrests were made.
Authorities believe that the creation of the cocaine processing
laboratory is part of the efforts of the Colombian cartel to transfer
production laboratories from Latin America to consumer countries in
Western Europe.
