He also gave testimony on Wednesday and Thursday about how the agency and a lot of other people found the cocaine. His testimony is expected to continue today.

It may be recalled that DLEAG agents uncovered nearly three tonnes of cocaine and over $88 million worth of industrial salt in a shipment from Ecuador in January 2021. The narcotics agency is said to have made the largest ever cocaine seizure in the nation.

Grossly, the 118 bags weighed 850g, 952kg, and 2 tonnes. On Thursday, the cocaine was discovered during a search of a container that was transported from the Ecuadorian port of Guayaquil through Algeciras in Spain to the country.
