Warzone/The Drive: The First Narco Submarine Ever Seized Off A European Coast Is A Monster
This is the first time authorities in Europe have intercepted one of these vessels, which have been a staple in Latin American drug smuggling.
Spanish authorities have successfully recovered a so-called narco submarine that they seized in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the country's Galacia region this past weekend. This is the first time any country in Europe has seized one of these smuggling vessels and it's not entirely clear how it made the thousands-of-miles-long journey from Latin America.
Spain's Guardia Civil, National Police, and Customs Service captured the craft off Galacia on Nov. 24, 2019. The crew had attempted to scuttle it after failing to transfer the approximately three tons of cocaine onboard to another vessel due to poor weather.

They then towed it to port and it has now been pulled out of the water for further inspection.
