Turkey seizes its third largest cocaine haul. Experts say the country is becoming a drug transit hub

Cocaine seizures in Turkey rose by 44% between 2021 and 2022, pointing to the country possibly being a drug corridor, as per the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.
Turkey's biggest cocaine seizure to date, 1.1 tons hidden in bananas from Ecuador, occurred at the port of Mersin in 2021.
Despite the increased seizures, data on domestic consumption in Turkey did not reflect the rise, indicating a disconnect in drug trafficking patterns, according to the report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.
