Police at
Paris Charles de Gaulle airport have seized 1.3 tonnes of pure cocaine on board
an Air France flight from Venezuela, French officials say.
The drugs
were found packed inside 30 suitcases on 11 September, but the operation was
revealed on Saturday.
France's
Interior minister, Manuel Valls, said it was the biggest drug haul ever made in
the Paris area.
Six people
were arrested, accused of being members of an international drug smuggling
ring, Mr Valls said.
Officials
say they believe the drugs were meant for sale in France and had a street value
of 200m euros (£169m; $270m).
The Air
France flight came from Caracas.
The
suitcases with the cocaine reportedly were not registered to any of the
passengers.
