From Morning Report, 6:14 am on 2 July 2020

A shipment of 14 metric tonnes of amphetamines - with a market value of one billion Euros - has been confiscated in the Italian port of Salerno.

Italian police tracked three suspect shipping containers to the port where they discovered the shipment of 84 million pills.

Investigators say its the biggest drug haul both in value and quantity in the world and believe the drugs were produced by ISIS in Syria.
