Not that I am user, thus suffering from this disruption in the supply chain, but that's insane, I mean the amount is truly impressive:

Customs authorities in Hamburg and Antwerp have seized a record haul of more than 23 tonnes of cocaine destined for the Netherlands in two raids this month, Dutch prosecutors said on Wednesday.

The two shipments together represented a street value of roughly 600 million euros ($730 million), the prosecutors said, making it the biggest catch of cocaine headed for the Netherlands ever.

I saw that, definitely a lot of cocaine.

What are they going to do with it, dump it in the North Sea? What a shame.

No idea honestly, guess they will simply burn it, as usually done in such cases... Complete lack of fantasy indeed.

PS. On the other hand that's not too much of a weight for a single horse to drag it on a barge along a river ;D ;D
