## Resource

French customs in Dunkirk just smashed a massive cocaine bust—nearly four metric tons hidden in a Ghana-bound plastic waste container en route to Antwerp, valued at 225 million euros. Authorities have launched an investigation into the criminal network, with charges including organized drug trafficking and association, carrying up to ten years in prison. The drugs were destroyed, but France’s crackdown continues: last year alone, they seized over 108 tons of narcotics worth nearly 2.2 billion euros. Big hauls, big busts—authorities are clearly on the move. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
