Spain seizes 15t hashish from ship

Madrid — Spanish police seized 15.7 tonnes of hashish resin on a merchant ship laden with salt near the southern port of Malaga, the interior ministry said yesterday. Three Spanish patrol boats and a helicopter intercepted the ship some 50 nautical miles south of Malaga on Sunday and escorted it to the Mediterranean city’s port, the ministry said in a statement.

The operation was carried out in cooperation with French and Italian authorities and was coordinated by European police agency Europol.

Spain’s proximity to Morocco, the top source of hashish consumed in Europe, have made it the main gateway to the continent for the drug. — AFP
