Gardaí are investigating how semi-submersibles, or ‘narco-subs’ are being used by crime cartels to potentially traffic drugs into and through Ireland.
As traffickers become more aware of cargo ships being targeted by law enforcement — such as in multiple recent cases off the south coast, including the historic MV Matthew cocaine seizure — they are increasingly using 'narco-subs' in a bid to evade detection.
