European Drug Gangs' Unconventional Strategy
Some European drug gangs are opting to bury cocaine instead of selling it due to low wholesale prices.
In December, Spanish authorities discovered two shipping containers buried underground on a farm in Coria del Río, containing seven metric tons of cocaine valued at approximately 420 million euros.
The cocaine was found with unique markings, including a devil emoji playing the guitar on one of the bricks.
