MEXICO SEIZES HOT HOT SAUCE SHIPMENT FROM ECUADOR

Mexican marines seized 217 barrels of salsa picante spiced up with 13 tons of cocaine

It was reported Wednesday by Blog del Narco that Mexican marines intercepted and seized 13 tons of cocaine from a container ship in the port of Manzanillo. The coke was bound from Ecuador to Mazatlan. It was shipped in a container that held 217 barrels of salsa picante. The coke was concealed inside the barrels, with each barrel of the hot sauce containing one package of cocaine.

Mexican authorities believe the seized hot sauce coke was being smuggled by the Sinaloa Cartel.

During my trips in Ecuador I found their salsa picante to be real hot, but not as hot as the hot hot sauce seized in Manzanillo.
