Drug bust in Puerto Moin
In a significant drug bust, Costa Rica's Drug Control Police (PCD) seized 200 kilos of cocaine concealed aboard the 'Dole America' at the Gaston Kogan dock in Moin, Limon,on Dec 5, 2023. The vessel, originating from Colombia, was en route to the port of Antwerp. Despite the substantial find, no arrests were made on the scene. However, the PCD has launched an investigation to identify and apprehend those responsible for the drug trafficking operation. Upon a thorough inspection of the vessel, officials discovered eight packages of the illicit substance hidden in the engine room. The seizure was part of the so-called Operation Sovereignty, a government initiative geared towards combating drug trafficking in ships and export containers.
