“We saved from tears, tragedies, broken lives and the deaths not only many Poles, but also many Europeans, because smuggling concerned about PLN 2 billion(EUR 514.3 mln) ) in value, and in tonnes it was about 2 tons of cocaine, drugs that were in a special way through special smuggling mechanisms, smuggled out of Colombia. This was thwarted by very effective actions of the National Revenue Administration and the Central Police Investigation Bureau – added Morawiecki.
