Summary

The Colombian navy intercepted a semi-submersible carrying cocaine in the Pacific, uncovering a new smuggling route to Australia.

The vessel, capable of traveling thousands of miles without refueling, was part of a lucrative operation targeting Australia, where cocaine fetches six times the U.S. price.

This was the third such vessel seized, with maps confirming the route.

The operation, part of the multinational “Orion” initiative, seized 225 tonnes of cocaine and arrested over 400 people globally.

Colombian authorities highlighted links between South American and Oceanian crime networks.

    Six times the price of coke in the US?

    I mean it makes sense because of logistics, but still.

    Never tried cocaine, but from what I heard it’s not really worth it, looking at price, effects on health, addiction potential etc while the high is just too short and not that great to begin with…

    People will now come out and say that proper coke is better but you can’t convince me. I’d rather try MDMA or DMT before touching coke
