ROME: Italian police and customs officials said they uncovered the cocaine after cross-checking shipping documents.
The Italian police in June arrested 34 Calabrian mafia suspects, who allegedly trafficked cocaine from Colombia.
Four suspects were also arrested in Spain and a top member of Colombia’s Marxist FARC was implicated by the probe, according to investigators.
American and Spanish investigators cooperated in the probe, as did judicial authorities in Brazil, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Spain and Montenegro, where the alleged drug smuggling network operated.
