In an article in the Dutch leading magazine De Volkskrant today Dode duikers mogelijk ‘drugsplukkers’ - Binnenland - de Volkskrant
it's speculated that two divers that surfaced dead in Amsterdam's western harbour area may have been involved in drug picking off a boat.
First last Thursday a dead diver surfaced followed by a second one last Saturday.
The two dead divers were found at a location where Colombian and Venezuelan coal ships anchor frequently and the last couple of years (coal) ships from these countries have been involved in drugs smuggling (cocaine).
Diving drugs pickers have been caught on two earlier occasions whilst trying to retrieve cocaine torpedoes from underneath a boat.
The identity of the divers is unknown at the time being but autopsies may help to reveal they identity and nationality.
Unfortunately the article is in Dutch.
