  • The Investigating Court No. 8 in Vigo ordered provisional imprisonment without bail for five Albanian nationals detained after the seizure.
  • Police found about 200 kilograms of cocaine inside a container on a vessel that arrived at the Port of Vigo early this week.
  • The investigation was led by Policía Nacional units and Spain’s Customs Surveillance service under the coordination of the Anti‑drug Prosecutor in Pontevedra and Court No. 8.
  • Authorities say the ship came from South America via the commercial fruit route commonly used by traffickers.
