More than 500 kg of cocaine estimated at more than CHF 50 million (US$50.65 million) were found in a container of coffee bean bags for Nestlé’s NESN.S Nespresso factory in Romont, western Switzerland. The information is from the local police.
Police were informed on Monday night by Nespresso that employees found an undefined white substance while unloading sacks of coffee beans just arrived from Brazil, police said in a statement. Analyzes showed that the substance was cocaine.
“The substance in question has not come into contact with any of our products or production equipment used to manufacture our products,” Nespresso said in an emailed statement.
“As a police investigation is ongoing, we are unable to share further details. We want to assure consumers that all of our products are safe to consume,” said the maker of single-serve coffee capsules.
