Illegal drugs in Puerto Rico

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the Justice Department have conducted a special operation to uncover a criminal network that was engaged in trafficking cocaine from South America to Russia and Europe.

Turkish police seized around 80 kilograms (some 176 pounds) of cocaine in an Istanbul port, officials said on Feb. 14.

More than 70 kg of heroin and 2 million USD in cash was discovered by the New York DEA, making this drug bust the biggest in the history of the city.

The massive operation in the northern part of the Bronx was the fourth largest heroin op in US history.

Only last month, authorities in New York JFK seized heroin transported on two jets.
