Summary
The Colombian navy intercepted a semi-submersible carrying cocaine in the Pacific, uncovering a new smuggling route to Australia.
The vessel, capable of traveling thousands of miles without refueling, was part of a lucrative operation targeting Australia, where cocaine fetches six times the U.S. price.
This was the third such vessel seized, with maps confirming the route.
The operation, part of the multinational “Orion” initiative, seized 225 tonnes of cocaine and arrested over 400 people globally.
Colombian authorities highlighted links between South American and Oceanian crime networks.
I think that math is fucked. Coke in the US is like 60-100 per gram, no way someone is paying 360-600 per gram in Australia.
Probably messed up the dollarydoo conversions.
90-100 here and everywhere I go. Been ripped off twice. It’s not worth it.
