WASHINGTON — U.S. and Colombian authorities seized $41 million in suspected drug money over the past two weeks — one of the largest seizures in the history of the countries’ joint efforts, law enforcement officials said Monday.
The first seizure came Sept. 9 at a Colombian port where inspectors found $11.2 million in two containers. The bundles of $20 bills were tightly bound in plastic wrapping and hidden in shipments of ammonium sulfate — material commonly used for fertilizer. Officials went on to find nearly $30 million more at Colombian and Mexican ports over a nine-day period.
