Ecuadorian Police Seize 3 Tons Of Cocaine In Canned Tuna Shipments 21 March 2024

The Ecuadorian police recently confiscated three tons of cocaine from canned tuna and grain salt containers that were headed to Gambia. ‘Operation Gran Fenix’ was carried out last week after three years of investigation in coordination with the Gambian authorities. It was created to nab traffickers who were selling drugs to EU nations via Gambia. Ten raids were conducted in the Ecuadorian provinces of Guayas, Manabí and Los Ríos. Eight people — seven Ecuadorians and one Colombian — who were part of a criminal gang that sold illicit substances to the African continent and EU were arrested. The group had been detained in 2018 for the same offense.

The Ecuadorian tuna sector, one of the largest exporters of canned tuna to the EU and US markets, has been concerned about their shipments being tampered with narcotics. According to the country’s Federation of Exporters (Fedexpor), there has been a 41 percent rise in drug trafficking since 2021, costing the industry millions of dollars each year.
