The head of the Caribbean island told AFP on Monday (September 6) that seven people had been arrested on board a boat carrying 650kg of cocaine in Martinique last Wednesday.

In all, seven Martinians and seven Venezuelans were arrested and produced before a C -te d’Ivoire court on Sunday. According to the first elements of the investigation, the boat came from Venezuela. The inventory, whose analysis (especially to determine the level of purity) was in progress, would represent several thousand euros for resale.
