Cocaine bust on fake Dakar rally truck
April 14, 2010
Spanish police have seized 800 kilos of cocaine from a truck that posed as an official backup vehicle during the Dakar Rally in Argentina and Chile this year.
A police statement on Tuesday said seven people were arrested in the operation, which was run in cooperation with Argentine police.
Police said the drug was destined for Spain's Mediterranean island of Ibiza.
They said the gang decorated the truck with the rally's logo and fake advertising so it could pass as a technical vehicle.
They said the vehicle was then shipped in January from Bilbao to Buenos Aires, where it picked up the drugs and stayed with the motorsport event until it finished.
They said the truck made it through customs to return to Bilbao, where it was stopped on Friday by police. |

Man, if only you've heard the various other amazing ways that drug cartels have tried sneaking drugs into Europe - some of them are quite ing genius!

| Funny this comes up just as I'm talking to Ian about this. I've been addicted to Banged Up Abroad, where people are conned into being drug mules and are caught smuggling drugs across the border (mainly through airports). And I was talking about how I wonder how the bigger operations work since I doubt that some of the methods that the Cocaine Cowboys used work anymore with increased security - well at least in the U.S. |
