葡萄牙当局周一表示，在亚速尔群岛附近海域截获一艘半潜式船只后，查获了创纪录数量的可卡因，该船随后在公海沉没。
警方女发言人告诉法新社，近9吨的毒品货物是”葡萄牙有史以来最大规模的可卡因缉获量”。
警方称，官员们近日在大西洋中距离亚速尔群岛约230海里处截获了这艘所谓的”毒艇”。
在恶劣天气条件下，警方得到了海军、空军以及英国和美国当局的协助。
警方表示，这艘潜水器最终沉没，船上携带的300个包裹中有35个丢失了毒品。
警方在社交媒体上发布了一段短视频，显示警方在海上执行行动以及犯罪嫌疑人被戴上手铐的画面。

警方补充称，该船原产于拉丁美洲，船上有三名哥伦比亚人和一名委内瑞拉人。
去年3月，警方表示，在一艘前往伊比利亚半岛的半潜式船只上查获了近6.5吨可卡因。当时当局称，美国缉毒局、英国国家犯罪局和西班牙国民警卫队也协助了这次行动。
半潜式”毒艇”无法完全潜入水下，因此受到国际毒贩的青睐，因为它们有时能逃避执法部门的检查。
数十年来，在秘密丛林造船厂建造的载人半潜式船只一直被用来将可卡因从全球最大的可卡因生产国哥伦比亚向北运至中美洲或墨西哥。
但近年来，它们航行得更远，穿越了大西洋和太平洋。
这段旅程可能致命。2023年，一艘载有两具尸体和近3吨可卡因的”毒艇”在哥伦比亚海岸附近被查获。

“Narco sub” sinks with drugs on board after record amount of cocaine seized from vessel off the Azores
January 26, 2026 / 12:58 PM EST / CBS/AFP
Portuguese authorities on Monday said they had seized a record haul of cocaine from a semi-submersible craft intercepted off the Azores archipelago before the vessel sank in the open seas.
The nearly 9-ton cargo of drugs is “the biggest seizure of cocaine ever in Portugal,” a police spokeswoman told the Agence France-Presse news agency.
Police said officers intercepted the so-called “narco sub” in recent days some 230 nautical miles from the islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
They were assisted by the navy and air force, as well as the U.K. and U.S. authorities, in difficult weather conditions.
The submersible eventually sank with 35 of the 300 packages of drugs it was carrying, the police said.
Police released a short video on social media showing officers carrying out the operation at sea and suspects being handcuffed.

It originated in Latin America and had three Colombians and a Venezuelan on board, it added.
Last March, police said officers had confiscated nearly 6.5 tons of cocaine from a semi-submersible vessel off the Azores while bound for the Iberian peninsula. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the British National Crime Agency and the Spanish Guardia Civil also assisted in that bust, authorities said at the time.
Narco subs, which cannot go fully underwater, are popular among international drug traffickers as they can sometimes elude detection by law enforcement.
Manned semisubmersibles built in clandestine[jungle shipyards]have been used for decades to ferry cocaine north from Colombia, the world’s biggest cocaine producer, to Central America or [Mexico].
But in recent years, they have been sailing much farther afield, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The journey can be deadly. In 2023, a[narco sub with two dead bodies]and nearly 3 tons of cocaine aboard was seized off the coast of Colombia.
