In Panama is a massive seven-ton shipment of cocaine seized on Saturday, destined for the port of Antwerp. This marks the second major drug bust in the country this week, with Belgium as the final destination. The authorities discovered 7,000 rectangular packages, each containing a kilogram of cocaine, hidden in various containers at the port of Colón. The drugs, originating from Ecuador and passing through Panama, were en route to Antwerp. The illicit cargo has been destroyed, and an investigation is underway. This recent seizure follows another significant bust where 1,400 kilograms of drugs were found concealed in travel bags inside a container. The authorities in Panama are cracking down on drug trafficking, sending a clear message to criminals attempting to smuggle narcotics through their country.
