Polish authorities have seized 44 liters of liquid cocaine worth about 1.85 million dollars that was hidden in wine boxes.
Officers from the Maritime Border Guard Unit in the northern port city of Gdansk worked with Czech customs officers to seize the drugs in the Lublin region of southern Poland.
The cocaine was dissolved in the summer so that it would not be detected at customs checkpoints. It is learned that 3 people have been arrested so far and more arrests are expected.
"The package containing branded wine along with concealed liquid cocaine was initially loaded onto a container ship at a Panamanian seaport. The cargo had to reach Poland via a route that passed through one of the European seaports and a customs point in Ostrava (Czech Republic). Three men have been arrested in connection with the investigation and further arrests may follow ," the Border Guard said in a statement.
