Three men were arrested and more than 2.5 tonnes of hashish were seized in a joint operation carried out in international waters off the coast of the Algarve in the early hours of Tuesday morning (March 21).
The men were all foreigners – two Moroccan and one Spanish – and the drugs were divided into 77 bales and carried on a speedboat which was intercepted around 70 nautical miles (around 129 kilometres) south of Portugal.
The operation was carried out by the National Maritime Authority, Portuguese Navy, Portuguese Air Force and PJ police.
