Yesterday afternoon the prosecutor’s office  of Antwerp in Belgium, reported that, on Monday October 8th , eight tons of cocaine were confiscated from Ecuador, with a retail price of 500 million euros.

During an inspection, the police discovered about 7,000 cocaine packages, each one of a bit over a kilogram. The report noted that the drug was found in a container of bananas addressed to the Dutch market. After removing the drug,  the bananas were left in order to track the shipment.
