Record amount of cocaine found on French jet – Mia Sanchez

Record amount of cocaine found on French jet – Mia Sanchez

Earlier this month, a record amount of cocaine was found on an airplane going from Venezuela to France.  The 1.3 metric tons, or about 2,900 pounds of cocaine would have sold for over 67 million dollars.  The cocaine was packed in hard-sided suitcases and wrapped tightly in plastic.  What concerns me most is how someone managed to get over one ton of cocaine onto an airplane.  A link in the article shows a video in French showing about 30 suitcases worth of plastic-wrapped cocaine.  Personally, I think that just maybe, security in Venezuela needs just a little bit of tightening.
