NEW YORK: US authorities said on Tuesday they had seized around 16 tonnes of cocaine with an estimated street value of over US$1 billion in a historic drug bust aboard a ship at the port of Philadelphia.
The drugs were found in seven containers aboard the MSC Gayane cargo ship, which was leaving for Europe after having previously called in Chile, Panama and the Bahamas, according to local media. In a 2018 report, the US Drug Enforcement Administration said that cocaine use in the US had continued to increase in 2016 and 2017, and that 93 percent of the drug distributed in the country comes from Colombia, while four percent is from Peru.
