Bulgarian customs seized 420 pounds of cocaine, worth $7 million, hidden in a ship's pipelines at the port of Burgas. The cargo ship, carrying copper concentrate from Peru, had a crew of 11. An investigation is underway to find the intended recipients, who could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Bulgaria has stepped up efforts to combat drug trafficking, acting as a transit point for cocaine from Latin America to Western Europe.
