 $37m Ghanaian drug bust in Hamburg
Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

Accra, March 27, Ghanadot - Authentic reports reaching Ghanadot revealed that German customs stumbled across 28 million euros (37 million dollars) worth of illegal drugs hidden amongst seven tonnes of pineapples in Hamburg harbour.

“While unloading a ship from Ghana, we came across a container full of pineapples meant to be delivered to a fashion boutique in Western Germany,” custom official, Dietmar Schulze said.

“It seemed bizarre that a clothing store would order 15 tonnes of pineapples so we launched an investigation.”

Scanning and searching the container revealed that it contained five and a half tonnes of marijuana as well as 18 kilograms hashish—both preparations of cannabis. Schulze said it was the biggest drug bust for more than 15 years.

Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing to arrest those who were involved in the drug trade.
