Over 7,700 kg of cocaine, worth hundreds of millions, seized in Zuid-Holland

A joint Belgian-Dutch investigation led to the seizure of roughly 7,700 kilograms of cocaine, Dutch police said on Tuesday. The street value of the cocaine could range anywhere from 345 to 462 million euros, according to addiction research center Jellinek. Recent estimates from the Dutch Public Prosecution Service in separate, unrelated cases puts the value at close to 570 million euros.

Customs officials working at the Port of Antwerp found the cocaine hidden in a batch of bananas on Monday. They then notified a task force involving investigators and prosecutors from the two countries.
