Colombia: 14 tons of cocaine seized

Colombia has made its largest cocaine seizure in a decade, authorities say. 14 tons of cocaine have been seized at a port.

The seizure comes at the same time that Colombian President Gustavo Petro has received sanctions from the United States for his alleged reluctance to target cocaine smuggling groups.

The cocaine was "camouflaged" in a mixture of plaster, the Ministry of Defense said. The drugs were stored in dozens of 50-kilogram sacks.
