A video has been made public showing the French Navy operation on the vessel Ourania A, which was transporting more than four tons of cocaine. French commandos successfully intercepted the ship and arrested its crew. The vessel was subsequently towed to Martinique, while the sailors were detained and handed over to Greek authorities.

Four people have already been remanded in custody, including Alexandros Angelopoulos, accused of being the mastermind behind the drug trafficking. He has denied ownership of the ship, claiming he sold it months ago.
