USA 🇺🇸 (Port Everglades) : Coast Guard Cutter James conducts largest illegal narcotic offload in Coast Guard history worth more than $1.4 billion
MIAMI — Coast Guard Cutter James’ crew offloaded approximately 59,700 pounds of cocaine and 1,430 pounds of marijuana worth more than $1.4 billion, Thursday, at Port Everglades, which is the largest offload in Coast Guard history.
The Coast Guard’s strong international relationships, with key partners like Canada and the Netherlands, along with our specialized capabilities and unmatched authorities, allow for a unity of effort to disrupt transnational crime organizations, which threaten America and our partner nations.
« Today’s offload is a result of our combined efforts of our inter-agency partners and a dedicated international coalition, » said Vice Adm. Steven Poulin, Commander Atlantic Area. « The Canadian government and Canadian Defence Forces brings an incredible capability in defeating transnational organized crime, and I’m grateful to HMCS Shawinigan to showcase Canada’s commitment. Together we will disrupt, defeat and degrade transnational organized crime. We will strengthen our efforts and continue to build collaboration and capability. »
« Canada and America are committed to expanding cooperation on defending North America against illicit trafficking and transnational crime and working together within our alliances, » said Maj. Gen. Paul Ormsby, Canadian Defence Attache. « We know that no nation can do it alone, and we know that we are stronger together. The kind of cooperation that we see on the pier today is one of the thousands of impressive examples of cooperation every day. »
The drugs were interdicted in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean Sea including contraband seized and recovered during 27 interdictions of suspected drug smuggling vessels by 10 American, Dutch and Canadian ships:
- Coast Guard Cutter James
- Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk
- Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless
- Coast Guard Cutter Thetis
- Coast Guard Cutter Confidence
- USS Wichita
- USS Sioux City
- USS Billings
- HNLMS Holland
- HMCS Shawinigan
Numerous U.S. agencies from the Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security cooperated in the effort to combat transnational organized crime.
The Coast Guard, Navy, Customs and Border Protection, FBI, DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with allied and international partner agencies, play a role in counter-drug operations. The fight against drug cartels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean requires unity of effort in all phases from detection, monitoring and interdictions, to criminal prosecutions by U.S. Attorneys in districts across the nation.
During at-sea interdictions, a suspect vessel is initially detected and monitored by allied, military or law enforcement personnel coordinated by Joint Interagency Task Force-South based in Key West, Florida. The law enforcement phase of counter-smuggling operations in the Eastern Pacific is conducted under the authority of the Coast Guard 11th District, headquartered in Alameda, California. The interdictions, including the actual boardings, are led and conducted by members of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Moufide Bouchibi réclamait sa « libération immédiate » au motif qu’il avait été remis le 12 mai à la France de manière irrégulière, « en dehors de toute procédure d’extradition » et « en méconnaissance » d’une convention d’extradition liant la France aux Émirats arabes unis.
« C’est une extradition déguisée », qui visait à éluder les règles d’une telle procédure, souvent longue, selon son avocat Thomas Bidnic. « Il semble qu’il n’y a pas eu de demande d’extradition. Or, une telle décision était indispensable à l’exercice de toutes mesures coercitives à son encontre ».

SPAIN 🇪🇸 (Costa del Sol) : Marbella has become a “United Nations of crime” – and violent gangsters have come with it
With hashish coming in from Morocco, cocaine from South America and marijuana from the Spanish mountains, Marbella has become a “United Nations of crime” – and violent gangsters have come with it.
Nacho Carretero and Arturo Lezcano investigate
One morning last autumn, a dozen or so locals were eating breakfast at a café under a clear Marbella sky, in front of the offices of the Special Organised Crime Response Unit (Greco), on the Costa del Sol. It’s an unobtrusive building in a working-class neighbourhood – and only someone with a sharp eye for detail might notice the two security cameras monitoring the front entrance. The café’s regulars drank coffee and ate toast, unaware that only 24 hours earlier, in another part of the city, Greco agents had rescued a man from a garage, alive, but with holes drilled through his toes. It was the latest local case of amarre, or kidnapping, to settle a score between criminal gangs.
That afternoon, in Puerto Banús, the wealthiest and most extravagant area of the city, a young British man with ties to organised crime walked out of a Louis Vuitton store and found himself surrounded by a crew of young Maghrebis, “soldiers” from one of the Marseille clans. “They didn’t want anything specific,” he said. “They just stared me down and said: ‘What’s up?’ They were looking for trouble… It’s getting really dangerous here,” he said, with no apparent sense of the irony of a criminal complaining about criminality.
It was in the 1960s, during Spain’s development boom, that the Costa del Sol became southern Europe’s tourist hotspot. Working-class holidaymakers thronged the public beaches and an emerging class of jet-setters found a piece of paradise in Marbella. The plan to develop the region succeeded, but success came with baggage. “This was the Francoist agreement,” said Antonio Romero, an author and former politician. “You, the criminals, come here to relax, don’t commit any crimes, and bring your money.”
The Costa del Sol is organised crime’s southern frontier – a stretch of urban sprawl extending from Málaga to Estepona, with Marbella, a city of 147,633 people, as its capital. According to the Spanish Intelligence Centre for Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime, there are at least 113 criminal groups representing 59 different nationalities operating out of the area. To the south, less than ten miles of open water separates the region from Morocco – the world’s largest producer of hashish – and from the autonomous Spanish outposts of Ceuta and Melilla. Less than an hour’s drive away is one of Europe’s main entry points for cocaine, the port of Algeciras. Across the bay from Algeciras is the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, a tax haven separated from Spain by a fence. To the north rise the Málaga and Granada mountains, Europe’s main region for marijuana cultivation.
The mobsters blend in with their millionaire neighbours
Marbella is not so much a rich place as a place full of rich people. A quick search yields 3,974 results for homes listed at more than €1m – that’s 100 more listings than the entire city of Madrid – in a city where the per capita income (€21,818) is less than the Spanish average.
In recent years, the situation has deteriorated
Bosses now bring their “soldiers” with them. “Young gangsters, armed and really dangerous”, said a member of Greco Costa del Sol. A member of the Camorra, the Naples Mafia organisation, who has lived in Marbella for years agrees. Francesco, who did not want to give his real name, had agreed to meet at a restaurant in Puerto Banús, where he always has a table waiting.
“The young guys who are coming here now don’t live by any codes, they don’t have any respect… These guys running around with their little bum bags, while their bosses are in Dubai.”

MAROC 🇲🇦 (Tanger Med) : un Espagnol arrêté avec 850 Kilos de cannabis
Un camion de transport international portant des plaques d’immatriculation étrangères a été intercepté au port Tanger Med par les éléments de la Sûreté nationale et de la douane. À son bord, 850 kg de chira ont été retrouvés.



Mais ce dernier rapport ne s’est pas contenté de jouer les comptables : il pointe les intérêts du Royaume dans ce trafic, insistant notamment sur les gains qu’il en a tirés en 2017 : le magot correspondrait “à 23 % du PIB marocain, soit plus de 100 milliards de dollars”. Une mine d’or pour le Maroc, mais un camouflet pour l’Europe: “principale destination de ce trafic, qui transite par l’Espagne, avant d’irriguer le Vieux Continent”, précise le rapport.
