Italian police on Friday arrested five
people in Puglia on suspicion of trafficking drugs from the
Netherlands.
The operation, in which 12 kg of very pure cocaine was
seized, enabled police to establish that the drugs were
transported into Italy hidden in cars driven by Albanian
citizens and, on one occasion, by a Romanian woman, judicial
sources said.
The drugs were stashed in cars specially prepared in the
Netherlands, fitted with lead-lined false bottoms that thwarted
scanners and sniffer dogs, police said.
