Germany, Poland Seize 1.2 Tons of Cannabis Shipped from Thailand
German and Polish authorities seized 1.2 tons of cannabis worth €12 million hidden in shipping containers that originated in Thailand and passed through Hamburg port destined for Poland.
Germany and Poland jointly dismantle international drug trafficking network, seizing nearly 1.2 tons of cannabis worth approximately 12 million euros, or over 456 million baht, hidden inside shipping containers filled with bricks.
The smuggling route originated in Thailand, passed through Hamburg port in Germany, and was destined for Poland. International drug trafficking groups concealed massive quantities of narcotics using seemingly legitimate commercial shipments, hiding cannabis inside brick-filled shipping containers. This seizure demonstrates how criminal networks increasingly exploit commercial shipping routes and international supply chains.
Of eight suspects arrested, six remain in custody awaiting trial. Authorities report investigations are proceeding intensively, with expectations of revealing additional details about the network's structure and other participants as the multi-country investigation advances.
