Huat Zai Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 500kg of Cocaine Was Discovered at a Nespresso Factory The massive haul worth around £41 million was found in a shipment of coffee beans from Brazil, police in Switzerland said. Half a tonne of cocaine has been found in a shipment of coffee beans sent to a Nespresso factory in Switzerland. Staff at the factory in Romont alerted the authorities when a mysterious white powder was discovered in a shipment tracked back to Brazil. Workers “found an undetermined white substance when they unloaded the freshly delivered sacks of coffee beans,” Fribourg Police said on Thursday. Police confirmed the substance found at the Nestlé coffee pod factory was cocaine after analysing a sample. Further investigation of five more shipping containers delivered on the same day resulted in a total seizure of 500kg of cocaine. Further investigations showed the cocaine was 80 percent pure, with an estimated street value of over 50 million Swiss francs (about £41 million). No cocaine is thought to have contaminated any of Nestlé’s coffee products in Switzerland. Earlier this year, a large shipment of coconuts filled with liquid cocaine was intercepted at a Colombian port en route to Italy, while some Latin American cartels have been known to line refrigerators with drugs to transport them across borders. https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5qadq/nespresso-cocaine-switzerland?ref=thefuturist 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
