: TalkLeftDEA Helps in Seizure of First Narco Submarine in Ecuador
By Jeralyn
Last week I wrote about the DEA and narcosubmarines.
Today, the DEA helped Ecuadoran police seize one.
The DEA says (received by e-mail, no link yet, press release should be available here soon):
As a result of DEA intelligence, Ecuadorian authorities were able to seize the vessel before it was able to make its maiden voyage. This is the first seizure of a clandestinely constructed fully operational submarine built to facilitate trans-oceanic drug trafficking.
I'm not sure why this is a first. In 2008, when Captain Nemo was arrested, police said they found two and destroyed them. More on Captain Nemo here.
