This footage was filmed and produced 12 November 2023.

The Brazilian Navy seized a German sailing boat named "Thiassi," dubbed a "pirate" vessel, 225 miles off the coast with over three tons of hashish. The footage, undated, reveals the vessel docked in Bahia after its capture.

Brazilian authorities, arresting four nationals, found the cabin packed with cannabis packages. The suspects claimed Bahia was the boat's final destination, departing from Portugal via the Canary Islands. The Federal Police suspect drug loading occurred in the Canary Islands, acting on European intel about the vessel. Inconsistencies in radio reports raised suspicion, with flags from Spain and Belgium discovered.

Investigations aim to uncover the drug trafficking connection between Brazil and Europe.
