Australian Federal Police made a record seizure of 2.3 tons of cocaine, valued at approximately €470 million, after a boat used by suspects capsized off the coast of Queensland. Thirteen individuals, including two minors, were arrested in connection with a large smuggling operation tied to the Comanchero motorcycle gang.
