They added that the haul has a street value of €400 million (nearly $440 million).“The identification and subsequent seizure of this quantity of drugs, one of the largest ever carried out in the national territory, likely prevented the drug from being recovered by criminals for subsequent illegal sale in the national territory, which would have yielded very high earnings,” the statement read.Guardia di Finanza said they believe the floating packages were left by a passing c...Rishi Sunak’s big math(s) quiz
