Between 14 th and 18 th April, the French surveillance frigate Floréal, under Atalanta’s command, successfully carried out four consecutive drugs seizures in the international waters while engaged in counter-piracy patrol. As a result, she seized close to 1.400kgs of heroin, 1.200kg of methamphetamines, and 25kg of hashish, worth 50 to 60 million euros in wholesale value and more than 200 million euros (236 million USD) in the street value in Europe (according to the data of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime – UNODC).
