For a long time, with the cooperative support of DEA agents, the Brazilian Federal Police was conducting a series of investigations into Altin Drimadha, an international drug trafficker from Albania who is wanted.
Intelligence department tracking data and findings allowed the Brazilian Federal Police to identify one of Altin Drimadha's premises in Sao Paulo, Brazil, guarded by local Favela gangs. On June 7, the location of the target was ascertained and a search warrant was issued by the prosecution.
Twenty-five Federal Police agents raided the country, disarmed two escorts and found US $ 230,000 in cash, as well as 350kg of pure cocaine packed in Louis Vuitton luxury custom packages to be sent to Antwerp, Belgium.
In the same case, police also seized two coded cell phones, two AK 47 assault rifles and a USB stick containing a video recording of the cocaine loading process in the Brazilian state port of Sao Paulo.
Although the exact amount of the substance was yet to be determined, the images had a date and time stamp and clearly exposed the code in the exact division of the current boat where the drugs were secretly stored. Last week’s investigation reports and accurate analysis of the aforementioned flash drive contents led to the identification of the yacht traveling in the ocean.
Ship tracking
According to the Brazilian federal authorities, the Maltese-flagged ship was launched for the first time months ago, from the port of Monaco.
Seven crew members had welcomed on board a team of six PhD students from Sunshine Coast University, Queensland, Australia, landed in Nice and were ready to embark on an expedition trip to Brazil.
As planned in their stock exchange-funded itinerary, they first sailed along the Spanish coastline, then across the Strait of Gibraltar and around the Canary Islands, to finally set sail in the Atlantic Ocean, aiming for the port of Sao state Paulos as their final destination.
The additional Sao Paulo-Lisbon sea route discovered inside the contents of USBs that enabled the Brazilian authorities to immediately notify their Portuguese counterparts to catch, stop and control the yacht during its stop in Lisbon, before sailing across the oceans for it finally landed in Brisbane, Australia, in August, according to plan.
