Europi se crno piše. ‘Ovo je već treća velika kriza u dvije godine. Stiže recesija...‘

Container storages are seen at a container terminal in the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands on January 11, 2023. The millions of containers unloaded by Rotterdam‘s giant cranes make it Europe‘s largest port, but the Dutch city is also dealing with ever larger amounts of a less welcome cargo: cocaine. A record of nearly 70 tonnes of the drug was intercepted in 2021, up 74 % from a year before, said Ger Scheringa, who leads a team of armed customs officers at the port. Rotterdam and Antwerp in neighbouring Belgium were the two main entry points used by a Dubai-based ”super cartel” supplying a third of Europe‘s cocaine, which Europol said it busted in November. The cocaine is usually hidden in containers, or sometimes underneath ships in openings below the water line where they are then recovered by divers.,Image: 749227471, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions:, Model Release: no, Credit line: Utrecht Robin/ABACA/Abaca Press/Profimedia
