Record cocaine bust; 6 arrests in Kalamata


In the biggest cocaine haul ever made in Greece, police in the southern Peloponnese yesterday seized over 700 kilos of the drug and arrested six suspected smugglers.

The bust, in the seaside town of Kalamata, followed a three-month surveillance operation in which Greek narcotics police, coast guard and members of the Finance Ministry’s financial crimes squad (SDOE) cooperated with the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
