西班牙一个工会周一表示，该国警方在大西洋海域一艘船上查获了据称是全国纪录级别的可卡因，缴获数量可能达到40吨。
西班牙国民警卫队主要工会AUGC的消息人士向法新社透露，该部队于周五在西班牙加那利群岛附近的国际水域截获了这艘船只，逮捕了约20人。
消息人士称，经估算，“已缴获35至40吨可卡因”，因为船舱“完全被成包的毒品填满”，这是“一次历史性的缉获行动”。
这艘目前正在加那利群岛接受检查的船只从塞拉利昂首都弗里敦出发，前往利比亚班加西。
但此前类似行动的模式表明，这艘船原本计划将毒品转运到小型船只上，再分销到欧洲，因为“在利比亚卸下如此大量的可卡因意义不大”。
AUGC的消息人士称：“这需要多艘船只和多个港口，因为在单个港口卸载如此大的数量会引起极大怀疑。因此，此次行动很可能是通过国际犯罪网络协调的。”
西班牙内政大臣费尔南多·格兰德-马拉斯卡在马德里向包括法新社在内的记者表示，此次缉获行动“不仅是全国范围内，也是国际上最大规模的缉毒行动之一”，但他未提供更多细节。
AUGC的消息人士补充说，法院命令要求调查处于法律保密状态。国民警卫队拒绝证实此次行动的细节。
西班牙与拉丁美洲关系密切，且靠近大麻主要生产国摩洛哥，使其成为毒品进入欧洲的关键入境点。
今年1月，警方在海上截获了一艘载有近10吨可卡因的船只，这是该国当时最大规模的海上缉毒行动。
去年10月，在美国方面提供线索后，警方在加那利群岛附近突袭一艘船只，缴获6.5吨可卡因并逮捕9人。
2025年6月，警方捣毁了一个贩毒团伙，该团伙使用当局所称的高速“毒贩快艇”，将大量可卡因从巴西和哥伦比亚偷运至加那利群岛。据称该团伙利用一艘废弃沉船作为快艇的加油平台。
2024年，西班牙警方在一艘从厄瓜多尔抵达南部阿尔赫西拉斯港的集装箱船上查获13吨可卡因，这是该国有史以来最大规模的可卡因缉获量。
Record amount of cocaine seized from ship in Atlantic Ocean by Spanish police, union says

Spanish police have impounded what is believed to be a national record haul of cocaine from a ship in the Atlantic Ocean, with the seizure potentially reaching 40 tons, a union said on Monday.
The Civil Guard intercepted the vessel in international waters off Spain’s Canary Islands on Friday, with around 20 people arrested, sources from the force’s main AUGC union told the Agence France-Presse.
It is estimated that “between 35 and 40 tons of cocaine have been seized” because the hold “was completely stuffed” with bales of the drug, making it “a historic seizure,” the sources said.
The boat, now being inspected in the Canary Islands, had left Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown for Benghazi in Libya.
But the pattern of previous such operations suggests it was due to offload the drug onto smaller vessels for distribution in Europe because “the unloading of this volume of cocaine in Libya doesn’t make much sense.”
“Many vessels would be needed, different ports, because such an unloading in a single port would arouse a lot of suspicion. So the operation is probably coordinated through international networks,” the AUGC sources said.
Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters in Madrid, including AFP, that the seizure “was one of the biggest, not only nationally but internationally,” without providing further details.
A court order means the investigation is under legal secrecy, the AUGC sources added. The Civil Guard declined to confirm the details of the operation.
Spain’s close ties with Latin America and proximity to Morocco, a top cannabis producer, make it a key entry point for drugs into Europe.
In January, police made their biggest seizure of cocaine at sea from a ship that was carrying almost 10 tons of the drug.
Last October, Spanish police seized 6.5 tons of cocaine and arrested nine people after a U.S. tip-off led them to raid a ship off the Canary Islands.
In June 2025, police forces dismantled a drug trafficking ring that used what authorities called high-speed “narco boats” to smuggle large quantities of cocaine from Brazil and Colombia to the Canary Islands. The ring allegedly used an abandoned shipwreck as a refueling platform for the speedboats.
In 2024, Spanish police impounded 13 tons of cocaine from a container ship that had arrived at the southern port of Algeciras from Ecuador, the country’s largest-ever haul of the drug.
