KEY POINTS

  • 84 kilograms of cocaine seized in total
  • Drugs smuggled from Bogota, Colombia inside artificial rose stems
  • Four people arrested at a flower shop in Artemis
  • Processing lab and buried gun discovered at a Marathon residence

Greek revenue and police authorities uncovered a major drug trafficking ring, seizing 84 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside rose shipments from Colombia. Inspectors acting on domestic and international intelligence tracked a shipment of 80 boxes that arrived from Bogota to a flower shop in Artemis, Attica.

Using a detection dog, inspectors discovered that artificial stems in 15 of the boxes contained concealed cocaine. Four individuals were arrested at the flower shop while preparing to transport the drugs to a processing facility in Marathon.

Authorities subsequently raided the Marathon property with the assistance of special police units. They arrested a foreign-born criminal previously accused of homicide and his son after uncovering a processing laboratory, a buried firearm, and two kilograms of cocaine.

Investigators confiscated a luxury vehicle during the operation and are currently searching for two additional suspects, including a man and a woman identified as the flower shop manager.
