In Panama, the National Antidrug Directorate of the National Police, in coordination with the Public Ministry, seized a total of 525 packages of a suspected illicit substance. The drugs were found hidden inside a container at an Atlantic port in the province of Colón. Preliminary investigations indicate that the container originated in Ecuador, with a stop in Panama (Colón), and had its final destination in Málaga, Spain. The discovery was made following intelligence, profiling, and cargo verification work, which allowed authorities to detect irregularities and proceed with the corresponding inspection. The police force reiterated its commitment to reinforcing security in the ports and maintaining joint actions to prevent international drug trafficking. With this operation, the investigation process begins for this drug case that used containers as a means of transport for illicit substances.
