$270m Worth of Cocaine Found on Air France Flight


CNN Reports  that 1.3 tons of pure cocaine was found on an Air France flight on September 11 stuffed inside anonymous bags. What was odd is that 30 colourful suitcases showed up on a flight from Venezuela and they were not registered to anyone on the flight.

The cocaine has a street value of 200 million Euros or $270 million.


On Sunday, Venezuela's Public Ministry said that authorities had detained three members of the National Guard in connection with the incident but it wasn't immediately clear exactly what they are accused of doing.

French Interior Minister Manuel Valls told reporters Saturday that several people have been taken into custody.


The investigation is ongoing.
