“This discovery shows the transition to more complex wireless systems that make it difficult to disclose,” said Admiral Juan Ricardo Russo, the radio commander of the Colombian Navy.
The report indicated that the submarine, which is equipped with a “star connection” satellite, capable of transferring up to 1.5 tons of cocaine, did not find drugs inside. Nevertheless, the Colombian fleet believes that the criminals used it for educational purposes.
The military report added that the capture of this submarine shows the use of gangs of “more complex systems”, which are a “growing problem for international marine safety”.
For decades, drugs in Colombia, the world’s largest cocaine manufacturer, used submarines for smuggling of this drug to the United States and Europe, but for the first time the authorities announced the distance from the distance that did not need those who lead them.
According to the latest data from the United Nations and Crime, the COK plant area in Columbia increased by 10% in 2023 to reach a record level of 253 thousand hectares, while potential cocaine production increased by 53%.
The report indicated that drug use has increased by 20% over the past decade, while the largest number of users in North America (6.45 million people), Europe (5.08 million) and South America (4.85 million). The volume of cocaine, captured around the world, increased from 900 tons in 2015 to 2000 tons in 2022.
