Over 32 kilograms of cocaine disguised as handcrafted ceramic bananas where intercepted by the Dominican Republic drug enforcement agents at the Port of Manzanillo in Monte Cristi province.
In a joint operation, the National Directorate of Drug Control (DNCD) and the Public Prosecutor’s Office discovered 303 ceramic bananas filled with cocaine during a routine container inspection.
Intelligence reports had flagged potential irregularities, leading agents to examine several export containers.
The cocaine-filled replicas were packed in 16 boxes within the shipping container to be shipped to the Netherlands.
