Spanish authorities have intercepted 2,600 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed in two shipping containers carrying coconuts from Ghana to Spain.
The operation was conducted by the Spanish Tax Agency and the Guardia Civil after the containers were flagged as high-risk and subjected to inspection.
The containers were reportedly loaded at the Tema Port on August 2, 2026, and arrived at the Port of Valencia on August 22, 2026.
Following the discovery, two persons, including the suspected importer and an individual responsible for unloading the consignment, were arrested in Almería.
Investigations are ongoing to establish further details surrounding the shipment and identify any other persons connected to the suspected drug trafficking operation.
