The drug bust was described by officials in Belgium as the largest overseas drug bust ever.” Federal prosecutors told Belgian media, they estimated the street value of the drug load at €900 million euros. In Guyana’s currency that would be $222.3 billion dollars.
Counternarcotics prosecutors said they had tracked the transatlantic journey of the 11.5-tons of cocaine from Guyana, on the northeastern coast of South America, and seized it upon its arrival at the Port of Antwerp.
The cocaine was stitched between scrap metal and placed inside a steel container which was in turn packed into a sea container and loaded into a transatlantic vessel.
