DUNKIRK, France — French customs authorities have intercepted a major cocaine shipment aboard a cargo vessel traveling from Ghana toward Antwerp, according to reporting by NL Times. The seizure reportedly involved several thousand kilograms of cocaine and is believed by investigators to be connected in part to the organization of fugitive Dutch drug trafficker Jos Leijdekkers, widely known as “Bolle Jos."

The seizure demonstrates the continued use of commercial shipping routes to move cocaine from West Africa into Europe.
