Confiscation of Coca Leaves in Argentina

In an operation carried out on National Route 9, police personnel initially seized 50 kilos of coca leaves in a truck from a courier company. The packages originated from Salta and were destined for the province where the inspection took place.

In a subsequent action during the early hours of Thursday, the same team inspected another truck from the same company and found an additional 10 kilos of coca leaves. The General Directorate of Customs (DGA) and Federal Court number 2 were involved in both interventions, ordering the seizure of the loads on each occasion.

Hours later at the same checkpoint, a new seizure of 10 more kilos of coca leaves was carried out. All these confiscations were made at Cabo Vallejos Detachment.
