Italian police announced on Thursday that they had seized 932 kg of pure cocaine in the port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria. The drugs were hidden in a container of frozen mussels from Chile.
The cocaine has a street value of "about 186 million euros," police said in a statement. She was in a container of frozen mussels from Chile, packed in 800 packages, hidden in 37 bags, according to the same source.

The port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria, the land of the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia, has been under special surveillance by Italian customs and law enforcement for years, as it is one of the main entry points for drugs on the peninsula.

The seizure was carried out after "a risk analysis" on more than 2,200 containers from the Americas and using special scanners, the statement said.
