Italian police claim world's largest drug bust after US$1.1 billion of amphetamines seized

Officers tracked three suspect containers to the port of Salerno in southwest Italy and found 84 million pills with a market value of €1 billion inside paper cylinders for industrial use, the Guardia di Finanza financial police said in a statement Wednesday.

"We weren't able to see them but we knew it was arriving because of our ongoing investigations we have with the Camorra ," he said.The Camorra bring the drugs to Italy and take a cut for helping to distribute them, Napolitano added. "According to the DEA , ISIS makes wide use of these drugs in all the territories over which it exerts influence and controls its sale."

"The hypothesis is that during the lockdown, due to the global epidemiological emergency, the production and distribution of synthetic drugs in Europe has practically stopped and therefore many traffickers with different organized crime groups have turned to Syria, where it does not seem to have slowed down," police said.

"This is a remarkable evidence of the 'nexus' between terror financing and organized crime interests," he added. "In addition, some recent media reports have linked this drug to perpetrators of terrorist acts in Europe or terrorist groups based in areas of conflict in the Middle East," the EMCDDA added.
