In September 2026, Greek authorities at the Port of Igoumenitsa seized approximately 300.88 kilograms of hydroponic skunk cannabis. The drugs were discovered in 296 airtight nylon packages hidden within a commercial truck transporting fresh meat. The shipment, valued at an estimated 1.2 million euros, originated in Spain and traveled through Italy. A 36-year-old driver with a prior criminal record was arrested, and investigators are determining if the narcotics were destined for the Greek market or intended for transit toward Turkey.
