On 24th July, a major drug interdiction operation was successfully carried out at the Port of Callao, Peru in a coordinated effort involving Peru’s DIRANDRO, Mexico’s Marine Secretariat, with the full support of SEACOP
Authorities seized more than 700 kilograms of cocaine hidden within a container of scrap metal.
The drug trafficking organisation had attempted to disguise their illicit cargo, which included both cocaine base paste and cocaine hydrochloride, by distributing it across multiple containers bound for Mexico.
Thanks to the exceptional collaboration between Peru, Mexico and EU-funded SEACOP, this substantial shipment of narcotics was intercepted before it could enter circulation.
This operation highlights the power of international cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking, showcasing the critical role that partnerships play in maintaining global security.
