A New Zealand-built superyacht used to smuggle $300 million worth of cocaine is going up for auction in Wales. The luxury vessel was seized several months ago with about 2000kg of cocaine off the English coastline near Plymouth. Next Wednesday, April 20, the UK National Crime Agency will sell the charter yacht Kahu to the highest bidder in the auction, Wales Online has reported. Photo / SuppliedAustralian officers based in the UK tipped off the National Crime Agency about an alleged transnational drugs syndicate using Kahu to co-ordinate cocaine shipments. NCA deputy director Matt Horne described the cocaine seized as a "massive haul".
