In a significant operation against drug trafficking, Portuguese authorities seized a staggering 2.5 tons of cocaine, valued at approximately 125 million Euros, on January 30, 2019. The operation was carried out by the Judiciary Police with instrumental support from the Portuguese Navy and the Air Force. In addition to the drugs, the operation resulted in the capture of the tugboat "Sea Scan 1" and the arrest of 11 crew members, primarily from Eastern European nations, many of whom had existing criminal records related to drug offenses. This successful crackdown was made possible through intelligence-sharing facilitated by the Maritime Analysis and Operation Center - Narcotics (MAOC-N) based in Lisbon, which collaborates with multiple European nations, including Portugal, Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands.
