Sequestrati 123 chili di cocaina, per una valore di oltre 12.2 milioni di dollari, 22 armi da fuoco illegali e contanti. La droga, veniva importata in Canada e negli Stati Uniti, dal Centro e Sud America, specificamente dai paradisi tropicali Trinidad e Tobago, St. Lucia e Guyana, mentre le armi proibite partivano dalla Florida. Seguendo la “rotta”, le indagini iniziate nel 2014, hanno appurato che la drogra arrivava nell’area torontina e da qui veniva anche poi venduta nel Newfoundland e Labrador; da quelle province i soldi ricavati dallo smercio di cocaina, rientravano nella GTA da dove si pagavano i narcotrafficanti nei Paesi fornitori. Droga ed armi sono state intercettate e sequestrate presso gli aereoporti, in parte nascoste in valigie con doppifondi. L’OPP ha tratto in arresto 13 persone ( uomini e donne in tra i 32 ed i 63 anni,residenti ad Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, Etobicoke, Scarborough), tra queste anche un italocanadese , tale Rocco Petrucci di 49 anni di Toronto, che dovra’ comparire in tribunale il prossimo 13 no- vembre.
