Greek police have seized 100 "bricks" of cocaine, worth an estimated 3.2 million euros, hidden in banana containers shipped from Latin America

The drugs were found during an investigation launched with North Macedonia authorities and the US anti-drug agency, following the seizure of about 100 kilos of cocaine at a warehouse in Thessaloniki last month.

14 people have been arrested in that case.

The two suspect containers were seized at the port of Piraeus, and after being taken to the port of Thessaloniki, the cocaine was found.

The drugs were intended to be distributed across Greece and other European countries.
