English: The blocked containers were first subjected to an x-ray scan, and then to a thorough inspection with the help of the dog units of the Gioia Tauro Guardia di Finanza Group. Following the checks, it was discovered that a thousand blocks of cocaine had been cleverly hidden inside bags of combustible material , in an attempt to bypass the customs and police checks systematically carried out in the port area of ??Gioia Tauro. The documents compiled during the operation were sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Palmi for the attention of Prosecutor Emanuele Crescenti and the magistrate on duty, for validation and subsequent continuation of the investigations.
The seizure represents one of the biggest service results achieved at the Port of Gioia Tauro in the last ten years and further demonstrates the notable importance of the Gioia Tauro maritime port, where, since the beginning of the year, over 2 tons of cocaine have been seized.
