Italian authorities seized roughly 1,700 pounds of cocaine hidden among pallets of bananas at a major port, officials said Tuesday.
The drugs were divided into 650 packages and "skillfully concealed" inside a refrigerated shipping container that arrived at the port of Vado Ligure from one of Ecuador’s main ports, according to Italy’s Guardia di Finanza.
A field test conducted during the inspection determined the substance was "extremely pure cocaine," officials said.
