Peru police seize cocaine packets bearing Nazi flag
Fifty-eight one-kilo packages of cocaine warpped in Nazi swastikas and bearing the word Hitler have been seized by Peruvian police.
The haul was intercepted in the port of Paita, on Peru’s northern Pacific coast close to its border with Ecuador.
The drugs were hidden inside a shipping container carrying asparagus on the Liberian-flagged vessel SC Anisha R that had earlier anchored in the Ecuadorian port of Ecuador, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press. It said the shipment was destined for Belgium.
The Peruvian police’s anti-drug directorate showed videos and photographs to AP revealing that the drugs were inside the ventilation system of a container.
