Seven suspects appeared in court in Bissau on Thursday in a 980kg drug seizure case, almost all of which has disappeared since the major bust in November, according to the director of the judicial police.

“Last November, 980 kg were seized by the police, but 975 kg have simply disappeared into thin air. It is presumed that it was elements of the security and defence forces who seized this quantity of cocaine,” Domingos Monteiro, the director of the judicial police, told the press on Thursday. A police officer was arrested and implicated in the case.
