Portugal cocaine busts soar to near record

Portuguese authorities said that in an operation carried out with the Spanish police, they had seized 3.78 tonnes of cocaine and broke up a ring of smugglers using Portugal as a staging ground for Europe. "We hope that the (criminal) organisations know that investing in Portugal at this moment is a bad idea," Jose Braz, assistant national director of the police's drug unit, told reporters at a news conference with the seized cocaine piled up behind him.
