Drug smuggling

Interpol operation exposes bizarre method of smuggling liquid cocaine

Through ongoing investigations by an Interpol-coordinated operation, there have been reports of drug trafficking across Asia and the Pacific.

Because drug traffickers have become “creative” with their ways of smuggling drugs into countries, Interpol has released an anti-drug campaign named ‘Operation LionFish – ASEAN’ to counteract this problem.

According to Interpol, Operation Lionfish – ASEAN, which involves more than 2,000 police and customs officials across 14 countries, have exposed a network of West African and Asian organized crime groups behind trafficking the drug methamphetamine.

The drug, known as ‘Ice’ due to its resemblance of a piece of glass or a chip of ice, is said to be the most smuggled drug in the ASEAN, and has allegedly caused around 15 seizures.
