Albanian police have seized 8 kilograms of cocaine on a container truck which reportedly had also been in Malta.
The haul was the biggest amount ever confiscated in Albania. Two men were arrested.
The police said that the cocaine, valued at €500,000 was found yesterday afternoon at the port of Durres.
The truck was carrying rice that had originated in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and had been transited through Rotterdam and Malta.
The Albanian police said the operation followed a month of investigation which involved the Dutch and Maltese police.
