A Smuggler's Life

Andrei Piriutko

I told you we live in Guy Ritchie’s movie. 2.0.

Nine guys were discovered suffering from respiratory issues after being trapped inside a container in Rotterdam in early October. The duration of their stay in the container was unknown. The spokeswoman for Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam claimed that the men broke in to retrieve a narcotics consignment. The container itself was packed with tree trunks. The group of men, aged 18 to 23, were examined by ambulance personnel before taking them into custody. The largest Dutch newspaper agency De Telegraaf reported that in September itself, 110 individuals were apprehended over 10 days while attempting to recover narcotics stashed in containers at the port of Rotterdam. On September 11 alone, the publication reported, 25 offenders were apprehended.
According to Port Police Chief Jan Janse, one common tactic employed by drug cartels is to drive a container filled with people into the port. The driver then dumps the container closest to where the narcotics are concealed, allowing them to pick up the drugs later. Officials frequently discover containers stocked with food and sleeping spaces that gangs use to conceal themselves until they can retrieve the narcotics.

Meanwhile...
Drug cartels in Central American have developed a sleek new smuggling vehicle that is practically impossible for law enforcement to track by radar. The criminals have replaced older, slow boats with sleek 'Picuda' models that are long, thin and can confound detection methods. Picudas can go as much as twice as fast as traditional smuggling vessels while carrying around a one ton of illegal drugs each.
The covert trips, made after dark, often take the smugglers from Colombia, and had on from there to Costa Rica, Honduras or Jamaica to unload their cargo to be sold off.
Whereas the trips used to take three days in the older speed boats, they can now be finished in two. The new boats also have a more efficient design, which means they use less fuel, saving money and making room for more illegal drugs. By employing fiberglass as the sole building material for the hulls - rather than just parts as before - the boats have also been made practically impervious to radar, confounding Coast Guard authorities who try to catch them.
The boats, which measure 32-38ft long, are usually equipped with three separate 200 horsepower engines.

1 So: those pirates in France that you reported earlier were just "part of the operation."

3 Looks that way Dana. They had quite a sweet operation going, it seems.

4 The only way to win the War on Drugs is through education, to get people to stay away from them. Nothing else is going to work -- any more than Prohibition did.
