According to a report by Spitniknews, a large consignment of arms, being smuggled from Ghana to the United States have been intercepted in Spain.
The Spanish Civil Guard said in a statement on Thursday that the cargo was intercepted by custom officers in the southern Spanish port town of Algeciras, in the Cadiz province.
“The intercepted consignment consisted of 737 assault rifles of 5.56 mm caliber and 72 grenade launchers,” the Civil Guard said in a statement.
The Spanish authorities found that the consignment legal documents stated the arms the consignment contained dismantled weapons, which the Spanish authorities established was not the true content and referred the case to court.
