His police Equatorial seized 2.4 tonnes yesterday Sunday cocaine hidden in container with bananas to be shipped from the port of Guayaquil (southwest) to Belgium, the interior ministry said.
“Two tonnes of four hundred and fifty-eight kilos of cocaine were seized,” the ministry said via Twitter.
Police found 2,461 packages of cocaine hidden in a consignment of bananas, one of the country’s main exports, during a search of a container. One person was arrested.
Ecuadorian law enforcement authorities seized a record 210 tonnes of drugs, mainly cocaine, in 2021, and have already seized more than 70 tonnes since the beginning of this year.
Although only a transit or storage country for drugs, Ecuador, between Colombia and Peru – the world’s top two cocaine producers – has seen a sharp rise in trafficking in recent years, mainly through its ports in the Pacific, while the retail sale of cocaine in its internal market is in full swing.
