In a statement, the Customs Officials said they valued this haul at €5.8 million. During routine screening of containers arriving to and transitting through Malta, seven containers with a high risk route were selected for scanning by the Con- tainer Monitoring Unit. Following pre- liminary scans, two reefer container had irregularities which pointed to possible narcotics hidden in the reefers, and sub- sequent physical searches confirmed this. The first reefer container was found to be carrying 20 packets of cocaine, weigh- ing 24kgs and worth approximately €2.7 million euro; and the second reefer container was found to be carrying 23 packets of cocaine, weighing 27.6kgs and worth €3.1 million. In both cases the narcotics were found hidden behind the reefer's compressor panelling. Both reefer containers were carrying fruit and transited through Malta from South America en-route to Albania.
