NACOC arrests freight forwarder in Tema over 2.6-tonne cocaine seizure in Spain

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has apprehended a 43-year-old freight forwarder in Tema, Ghana, for his alleged involvement in a major cocaine seizure in Spain. The suspect was arrested on November 11, 2026, following the interception of a shipment containing approximately 2.6 tonnes of cocaine in Valencia, Spain, in August 2026.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect played a role in processing customs documentation for the shipment, which was facilitated by an intermediary agent. NACOC is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shipment and the roles of other suspected individuals involved in the alleged trafficking operation.

The arrested freight forwarder is currently in custody and assisting with the ongoing investigation, while efforts are being made to identify and apprehend additional individuals linked to the suspected cocaine trafficking network.
