Attempt To Traffic $61.5 Million Of Cocaine Via Russian Embassy In Argentina Foiled
WORLDRUSSIACIAARGENTINACOCAINEDRUG TRAFFICKING
A Russian man accused of trying to smuggle about 900 pounds of cocaine from Argentina to Russia said the CIA was behind the massive drug-trafficking operation and that he has been set up.
The suspect, Andrei Kovalchuk, is the man authorities accuse of being the mastermind behind the appearance of 16 suitcases filled with high-quality cocaine—worth over $60 million in Russia—in a storage area at the Russian Embassy in Buenos Aires. Argentina’s security forces seized the suitcases in December 2016 after they received a tip from the Russian ambassador. Argentine security officials called the operation one of the most “complex and extravagant” drug operations the country has encountered.
Kovalchuk reportedly lives in Germany and has an international warrant out for his arrest. His lawyer claimed Kovalchuk abandoned the suitcases at the embassy filled with coffee, cigars and alcohol, not cocaine. The lawyer alleged that the appearance of the cocaine was a set-up by the CIA and Argentinian police to tarnish the name of the Russian embassy. Kovalchuk is prepared to travel to Russia to “prove his innocence and establish the truth,” the lawyer declared.
However, the attorney has failed to provide any evidence that the CIA was involved in the drug smuggling operation.

The alleged ringleader of a trafficking gang that hid almost 400kg of cocaine at Russia’s embassy in Argentina has claimed that US secret agents planted the drugs to discredit Moscow.
Andrei Kovalchuk, thought to be in Germany, said via a lawyer that suitcases of coffee, alcohol and cigars that he stored in a school on the premises were emptied and filled with drugs.
“Kovalchuk is convinced the narcotics were planted as a provocation by Argentine police with the participation of American special services with the aim of discrediting the Russian diplomatic mission,” Vladimir Zherebenkov, the lawyer, told reporters in Moscow.
