Sotogrande,two alleged drug traffickers have drowned off the coast

Two alleged drug traffickers have drowned off the coast of Sotogrande, and another person was found suffering from severe hypothermia as the Guardia Civil broke up a drug running operation off the luxury urbanisation on Tuesday.It’s thought the three were trying to bring some 350 kilos of hashish onto the Spanish coast. The survivor was first spotted walking along the coast in wet clothes, and a further search revealed the 7 meter semi-rigid boat containing the drug in 11 bales. The first body, carrying Moroccan documents, was a few metres away and the second was found on Wednesday morning some 400m from the Tiburón beach.On Tuesday afternoon Guardia Civil officers patrolling the coast in Sotogrande came across a disorientated Moroccan man walking around in wet clothes. Officers suspected that the man had recently disembarked from a boat and set about searching the area. They found a seven metre long boat in the mouth of the Guadiaro river and discovered the dead body of another Moroccan citizen floating in the water some metres away. It appears that the strong tide and the eleven packets of hashish on board, which weighed some 350 kilos in total, made the boat capsize.After a more in-depth search of the coast, the Guardia Civil found the body of a second person at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning some 400 metres from the Tiburón beach. The authorities are trying to identify the victim.
