’TIS THE REASON…The Guardian:
The lengths to which drug smugglers will go to conceal their consignments was revealed when the Mexican navy said it had seized more than a tonne of cocaine stuffed inside frozen shark carcasses.
Masked naval officers cut open more than 20 carcasses filled with slabs of cocaine after checking a cargo ship in a container port in the state of Yucatan. X-ray machines and sniffer [dogs] led them to the stash.
“We are talking about more than a tonne of cocaine that was inside the ship,” said navy commander Eduardo Villa yesterday. “Those in charge of the shipment said it was a conserving agent but after checks we confirmed it was cocaine.”
