Colombia seizes 7.6 tonnes of Europe-bound cocaine
Colombian authorities seized 7.6 tonnes of cocaine bound for the Netherlands at the port of Cartagena, which President Abelardo de la Espriella called the country's largest drug seizure in a decade. Two Dutch nationals wanted by Dutch prosecutors were separately arrested in Colombia.
Why it matters
The seizure removes a large shipment from the trafficking route to European ports.
Background
Colombia is the world's largest cocaine producer. Rotterdam and other European ports are major entry points for the drug.
