  "account": "A 13-tonne shipment of cocaine hidden among bananas from Ecuador was foiled, with a value of nearly 395 million euros. The operation, involving multiple parties, was reportedly led by a narcotics trafficker known as Thanos, based in Dubai. The cargo was not collected at the Port of Algeciras in Cadiz, Spain, due to a police tip-off. The investigation was a collaboration between Ecuadorian police and Spain's National Police, specifically the Central Brigade for Narcotics. Thanos has not been arrested.",
  "summary": "The group leader, still not arrested, made friends in the United Arab Emirates with other narcos involved in this shipment, such as El Tigre and Spartan.",
