Internal Security Agency smashes another major drugs smuggling gang

The Internal Security Agency (ABW) has broken an organized cocaine smuggling route from South America to Poland. Ten people have been arrested. The route was organized by Nigerians, while the drug couriers were Poles, usually young girls recruited in discos, lured by exotic journeys and big money. The ABW estimates that since 2000 several hundred kilograms of cocaine have been brought in from Latin America. One of the main ringleaders went underground in Western Europe once extradition procedures began against him. This is second-large scale cocaine smuggling gang investigated by the security service. The first resulted in the break- up of ring that smuggled 2.5 tones of cocaine worth $700 million between 1994-2000. (Zycie, p. 6) A.D.
