MV Matthew Finally Departs After Cocaine Bust | Global News
Description
That massive cocaine-laden freighter, the MV Matthew, finally sailed away after sitting in Cork harbor for over a year—costing Ireland seventeen million euros just to keep it running. Now sold for a symbolic one dollar to a Bulgarian shipping firm, the 28,000-ton vessel is headed to Varna, Bulgaria, while eight convicts serve a combined 129 years for the haul. It’s a wild tale of legal delays, astronomical costs, and a ship that’s more evidence than asset.
