Police have recovered 140kg of cocaine which had been shipped in
banana crates by accident to Aldi supermarkets in Germany.
Workers at five stores around Berlin found the drug among packages of the
fruit on Monday, in what is being called a "logistical mistake" by
smugglers.Stefan Redlich, a Berlin Police spokesman, said: "Employees of supermarkets in Berlin and Brandenburg found boxes that should have been filled with bananas but in the boxes had been more than 100kg (of) cocaine."
Mr Redlich said the seizure is one of Berlin’s biggest in almost 20 years.
