The Guardia di Finanza of Naples has seized in the Port of Salerno a large quantity of drugs, 14 tons of amphetamines, 84 million tablets with the "captagon" logo, produced in Syria by ISIS to finance terrorism. The value of the drug, found by the "yellow flames" in three containers, has been estimated at over 1 billion euros.
