Spanish police have recovered three tonnes of cocaine from the first “narco-submarine” seized in European waters after refloating the vessel and bringing it into port.
The 20-metre semi-submersible craft was intercepted off the coast of Galicia, north-west Spain, on Sunday following a joint operation with police forces from the UK, Portugal, the US and Brazil. According to reports, the seizure could be worth €100m (£85m).
