€225m Cocaine Shipment: Euro Spa CEO, Three Others Remanded

 

Cocaine Shipment, Euro Spa,Euro Spa CEO Jessica Hartog and three others have been remanded by an Accra High Court over alleged links to a cocaine shipment worth more than €225 million that was intercepted in Dunkirk, France.

Hartog was charged on September 16, 2026, and remanded until October 13, 2026, when she is expected to appear before the court again. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The shipment, reportedly traced to Ghana, was intercepted by French authorities in Dunkirk as investigations continue into the alleged trafficking network behind the consignment.

The consignment, reportedly worth more than €225 million, is alleged to have originated from Ghana and was intercepted by French authorities at the port city of Dunkirk.

Hartog and the three other accused persons were charged in connection with the alleged cocaine trafficking operation and have all pleaded not guilty.

Following their arraignment, the court remanded the four accused persons and adjourned the case to October 13, 2026.

The case is expected to come under close scrutiny as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the shipment, its alleged links to Ghana and the identities of persons suspected of facilitating the movement of the cocaine from Ghana to Europe.

The alleged seizure in France has also raised questions about the networks involved in the shipment and whether other individuals or entities may have played roles in the operation.

Further proceedings on October 13 are expected to provide more details about the prosecution’s case and the evidence it intends to rely on.
