Three tonnes of extremely pure
cocaine have been found hidden among bananas, peanuts and pepper
in three containers in the vast Calabrian container port of
Gioia Tauro through which 'Ndrangheta move most of its drugs
from South America to keep up its chokehold on the European
cocaine trade, police said Friday.
A heavy vehicle driver has been arrested.
The coke would have had a street value of over one billion
euros, police said.
'Ndrangheta is Italy's richest and most powerful mafia.
