Description
The Portuguese navy, with the help of Spanish, American and British intelligence, seized nearly 6.5 tonnes of cocaine from a semi-submersible boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, south of the Azores archipelago, Portugal's judicial police say. The boat came from South America and was clearly heading for Europe to unload its cargo of drugs. "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack", says Luis Neves, Director of the Judicial Police.
