11 Russian sailors & 9,500 kilos of cocaine seized in Cape Verde

Quite a bust. And not a great look for Russia.

Russian state media RBK (look 'em up) was first to report a drug bust off the coast of Northern Africa, in Cabo Verde (Google Map location).

“The authorities of the Republic of Cape Verde suspected Russian sailors, who went under the flag of Panama, in transporting 9.5 tons of cocaine,” reported rbc.ru, with photos from the Cape Verdean government, at pj.gov.cv.
