Update. Saldanha Haul Much Bigger than Just the Drug Bust

Remember the story about the so-called fishing vessel and its crew nabbed in the vicinity of Saldanha Bay in March with hundreds of bricks of cocaine on board? Well, there is more to this story than we heard at the time. It turns out that this was one of two INTERPOL coordinated operations codenamed Lionfish.

This week, three Bulgarian men were found to be guilty of one of the biggest drug busts in South Africa. But they are only three of 287 individuals arrested in a coordinated crackdown on drug trafficking in 41 countries across Africa and the Middle East.
