Italy’s Guardia di Finanza finance police swooped on the boat 130 nautical miles southeast of Sicily after tracking the vessel from the air for two days, a statement said.
They arrested the captain of the boat, called Quest, and eight crew members, whose nationality was not revealed.
The raid was part of an international anti-drug trafficking initiative called “Libeccio International” --Libeccio being a southwesterly wind that sweeps Italy and Corsica in which Italy collaborates with a number of other European nations.
