Maltese police intercepted 12.5 kg of cocaine imported from Sicily, with an estimated street value of about €600,000, leading to multiple arrests.

Customs and police in Malta intercepted a vehicle arriving from Sicily used to smuggle 12.5 kilograms of cocaine into the country. The haul, concealed in a hidden compartment, had an estimated street value of roughly €600,000. Authorities followed the vehicle to Gudja, where they detained four suspects, including two Italian nationals and two Maltese men. The accused were charged with cocaine trafficking, aggravated possession, and involvement in organised crime. All denied the charges and were remanded in custody, marking a significant blow to an international drug‑smuggling network using Malta as a transit point.
