Two men are in custody in neighbouring Martinique after the French Navy vessel Dumont d’Urville intercepted their sailboat North East Of Guadeloupe and seized 445 kilos of cocaine.
A release on the Forces Armées aux Antilles Facebook page said the drug bust occurred on July 3.
After intercepting the sailboat they suspected of narcotics trafficking, a French Navy team boarded the vessel and found bales in the cabin that tested positive for cocaine.
Officials estimated that had the 445 kilos of cocaine, probably destined for Europe, arrived at its destination, traffickers could have sold the drugs for 13 million euros.
In challenging sea conditions, the latest seizure carried out by the Dumont d’Urville crew brings to 6 the number of drug busts made in 2022 by the French armed forces in the Caribbean.
So far, they have intercepted more than one ton of cannabis and 1.1 tons of cocaine.

These Spanish guys just keep on Destroying people’s Health to make Millions .Its time when these Spanish guys get arrested their Maximum Sentence at the Courts should be Life time without parole
These guys should not be jailed, they should be left to the sharks at no cost to tax payers. Their trade is to make money for some, and afflict others with a lifetime of addiction, ultimately sickness and an horrible death. God has punishment for those.
