Divers found drug packages
The 'Skyros' was held for an inspection at Isthmia on April 26, 2021. Examiners from the Directorate of Drug Prosecution & Smuggling, accompanied by police dogs for drug detection, searched the vessel and reported that they were unable to locate the suspected drugs. While the vessel was at anchor, a dive team from the Submarine Missions Unit started an underwater search of the vessel. Behind the grate of a suction drain, the divers located a watertight bag. When it was brought to the surface, the inspectors discovered 38 plastic packages containing cocaine. The total weight of the seizure was nearly 47 kilos. The Corinth Port Authority issued a detention for the vessel, while the confiscated drugs were sent to a lab for confirmation testing. In addition, the police have detained the 23 members of the crew and were interviewing them. The ship's manager reported that it was a routine investigation and that they were the unknowing participant in this attempt to smuggle drugs into Greece. The ship remained moored in pos. 37° 55.11' N 023° 1.42' E as of May 6.
