ROME (Reuters) - Italian police said on Thursday they found 20 tonnes of hash worth as much as 200 million euros ($232 million) in the fuel tanks of a Panama-flagged ship that was stopped in international waters and escorted to Sicily.

The entire 11-person crew, all from Montenegro, was arrested for international drugs trafficking, Italy’s finance police said in a statement.

The research and survey vessel Remus left the Canary Islands bound for Egypt and Turkey, but police surveillance showed it had turned off its position transmitter near the coast of North Africa, raising investigators’ suspicions.

Summing up, how international this shipment was....

1. The Hashish came from allegedly North Africa.
2. The 11 crew members of the smuggling ship were from Montenegro.
3. The ship was flagged as Panamanian and they got Panama's permission to search it.
