【摘要2023.9.7.四.自由】◎孫宇青
With the help of
a dog with a fine nose for cocaine, Italian police seized more than 2,700 kilos
of the drug hidden in 70 tons of boxed bananas shipped from Ecuador.
在一隻很會嗅查古柯鹼的警犬幫助下,義大利警方查獲藏在厄瓜多出發的70噸盒裝香蕉中的2700多公斤古柯鹼。
Police estimated
that the cocaine, which they described as of the finest quality, could have
brought traffickers more than 800 million euros in street sales if it had
reached its ultimate destination in Armenia.
警方稱這批古柯鹼品質一流,若順利送達最終目的地亞美尼亞,並在街頭販售的話,估可為毒販賺進逾8億歐元。
Police revealed
that documents and a background check indicated the shippers of the bananas
weren’t in the business of moving that much fruit.
警方指出,文件和背景審查顯示,本案的香蕉經銷商並未準備運送這麼多香蕉。
Officers used
scanning machines and the dog, named Joel, to uncover packets of cocaine hidden
in boxes stacked meters-high in container trucks.
官員使用掃瞄儀器和名叫喬爾的警犬,在貨櫃車裡堆成數公尺高的箱子中,揪出藏在裡頭的一包包古柯鹼。

and eagerly when the officers opened the back doors of the truck, and pawed
furiously at the unloaded boxes to try to move the bananas aside.(AP)
