Officials Find Half-Ton of Cocaine In This Coffee Brand’s Factory
In a shocking turn of events, officials in Colombia have discovered a half-ton of cocaine hidden in the factory of a popular coffee brand. The discovery was made during a routine inspection of the facility, and the amount of cocaine found was enough to fill up two large shipping containers.
The coffee brand in question is not being named, but authorities have confirmed that it is a well-known international brand. The factory is located in the city of Medellin, which is known for its drug trafficking activity.
The cocaine was found hidden in a secret compartment in the factory, and it is believed that the drug was being smuggled out of the facility. It is unclear who was behind the smuggling operation, but authorities are currently investigating the matter.
This is not the first time that a coffee brand has been linked to drug trafficking. In 2017, authorities in Colombia discovered a shipment of cocaine hidden in a shipment of coffee beans. The shipment was destined for the United States, and it is believed that the drug was being smuggled out of the country.
This latest discovery is a reminder of the dangers of drug trafficking, and it highlights the need for increased vigilance when it comes to inspecting shipments of goods. It is also a reminder that drug traffickers will go to great lengths to conceal their activities.

Police were quite surprised to discover that a recent shipment to a Nespresso factory in Switzerland contained not just coffee—but also 500 kilos of cocaine.
Inside storage containers with coffee was also $50 million worth of the drug. Swiss police swarmed the facility Monday after workers discovered an undetermined white substance while unloading bags of freshly delivered coffee beans.
Over 1,100 pounds of cocaine were discovered across five shipping containers. Police say it was all delivered in one day by train and was 80% pure.

After investigating further, authorities say they believe the shipment came from Brazil and was destined for the European market. Despite the drugs being stored in the containers, Nespresso said in a statement that the product is still safe.
“The substance in question did not come into contact with any of our products or production equipment used to make our products,” Nespresso said in a statement. “As a police investigation is underway, we cannot share more details. We want to reassure consumers that all our products are safe to consume.”
The find shook up the town of Fribourg, Switzerland a bit, with the head of security for the town calling it an “exceptional” find.
“It’s the first time we’ve had such a find,” Marc Andrey, the town’s head of security, said according to Euronews. “I think it’s also one of the biggest seizures in Switzerland.”
