Russian customs authorities have made a significant drug seizure, intercepting a shipment valued at $153 million in cocaine. The illicit narcotics were cleverly concealed within a banana shipment, with the drugs packaged in briquet,ts marked with the logo of a French luxury fashion brand and hidden in a ‘hidden cavity’ under the fruit. This incident highlights the sophisticated methods used by drug traffickers to evade detection and underscores the ongoing challenges faced by customs agencies in combating transnational drug trafficking.
