The police seized 266 blocks of cocaine in a warehouse in Candidoni, in the province of Reggio Calabria. The value of the narcotic is estimated at 23 million euros
The carabinieri of the company Giogia Tauro with the support of the Squadron Hunters “Calabria”they carried out the seizure of 266 blocks of cocaine hidden among bags containing pellets in a company shed Candidoni. A 40-year-old was arrested but gave no explanation as to the origin of the drugs.
Considering the quantity, the police believe that the analyzes that will be conducted on the product will confirm its high purity. Based on an average retail price of around 80 euros per gram, it is estimated that the seized narcotic could be worth almost 23 million euros, all without taking into account that the drug would certainly have been “cut” with other substances before being sold. The arrested person was taken to the Palmi prison and made available to the judicial authorities. The seizure is among the most important carried out by the Carabinieri of the Gioia Tauro Group in recent years.
