The image of Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb who assassinated the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, ahead of the WW I, ‘decorated’ packages of cocaine worth 50 million Euros have been seized by Spanish police on the way from South America to Europe, and is believed to belong to the Serbs, N1 reported.
The seizure of 800 kilogrammes of cocaine and the arrest of the three Serb nationals proved that the Balkan mafia was behind the broadest distribution of cocaine from South America to Europe.
The three arrested are father and son from Sid, a town in Serbia's northern Vojvodina province, and a naval captain from a nearby village of Erdevik, while the fourth suspect was still at large.
Serbia’s Police Director Vladimir Rebic said the operation lasted for months.
“They have travelled to South America several times to pick up a glider which they transformed into a cargo boat in Mexico. After we had all information we notified the Spanish police and they intercepted them in the open sea with 800 kilogrammes of cocaine,” Rebic said.
Spain is the leading country where cocaine enters the European continent, while lately the drug is also transferred to the Western European market via Black and Adriatic seas.
The drug smuggling does not include only the Serbs, but also other nationals from the Balkans.
Five Montenegrin sailors were arrested early this summer when the police seized 18 tonnes of cocaine aboard a ship in Philadelphia.
