On April 22, 2018, Spanish customs authorities made a staggering drug bust, uncovering 8.74 tons of cocaine hidden in a shipping container on the vessel 'Lucie Schulte' at the port of Algeciras. The illicit cargo was concealed among 10,080 boxes of bananas that had originated from Turbo, Colombia. In response to the discovery, Spanish police detained three individuals associated with the importing company located in Malaga. Additionally, law enforcement in France apprehended three more suspects linked to the operation. After the incident, the 'Lucie Schulte' continued its voyage, setting sail for Livorno as its next destination.
