COCAINE Six packages of 170 kilos of cocaine have been found floating on
the Black Sea close to the Bulgarian town of Shabla, not far from the Romanian
border. The packages were wrapped in a life jacket and water-proof materials.
The Romanian and Bulgarian authorities have been working on this case for a
week now since a large quantity of cocaine was discovered on the Romanian Black
Sea coast. An ample operation was mounted by prosecutors with the Romanian
Department for Organized Crime and Terrorism. The packages have been carried by
waters to the sea from the Danube after a motorboat with 800 kilogram of
cocaine on board capsized. According to the Romanian police the drug has a
higher concentration of over 90%, which can jeopardize the life of possible consumers.

through the Declaration of Montevideo signed by 17 countries in 2013 jointly
with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
