A narco-submarine, transporting 1.7 tonnes of cocaine, was recently seized off the coast of Portugal.
A release from the EU’s Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre said the vessel, which was bound for the Iberian Peninsula was detained and four crew members arrested.
It added that due to bad weather and the fragile condition of the vessel, it ended being sank at sea.
According to BBC News, the suspects, including two Ecuadorians, a Venezuelan and a Colombian, were remanded in pre-trial custody after their court appearance.
