FRENCH authorities have seized close to five tonnes of cocaine from a small boat and dumped the drugs at sea before allowing the crew and vessel to leave French Polynesia.<\/p>\n

French authorities claimed the seizure took place in international waters, but local station Tahiti Nui Television quoted officials as saying the drugs were seized in French Polynesia\u2019s maritime zone.<\/p>\n

The cocaine was valued at around $USD150 million.<\/p>\n

In a headline, the station noted: \u201c4.87 tonnes of cocaine\u2026 but no legal action taken.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Lead prosecutor Sol\u00e8ne Belaouar\u00a0initially told TNTV that \u201cArticle 17 of the Vienna Convention stipulates that the navy can intercept a vessel on the high seas, after checking its flag state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten days after the first reports of the seizure, Belaouar was no longer talking about the \u2018high seas,\u2019 instead claiming the need for a new strategy to handle drug flows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pacific has become the superhighway for drugs\u201d, Belaouar asserted, and that \u201c70 per cent of cocaine trafficking passes through this route.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time as those contradictory statements\u00a0were raising questions in Tahiti, questions were also being asked 1100 kms to the southwest, when the briefly seized vessel, the MV Raider<\/em>, turned up in the Cook Islands broadcasting a distress signal.<\/p>\n

Customs officials in Rarotonga told the daily Cook Islands News the vessel was reporting engine trouble and was taking shelter from bad weather.<\/p>\n

They confirmed MV Raider<\/em> was the same vessel that had been intercepted by French naval forces with the drugs on board.<\/p>\n

Online records indicate that the ship was built in 1991 in the United States, with a \u201cProvisional Certificate of Registry\u201d from the Togo Maritime Authority dated only two months ago, on November 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

According to maritime experts, provisional certification is a red flag that allows what industry sources term the \u201cdark fleet\u201d to exploit open registries.<\/p>\n

This \u201callows entry on a temporary basis (typically three to six months) with minimal due diligence pending submission of all documentation,\u201d according to a 2025 review from Windward, a marine risk consultancy. \u201cVessels then \u2018hop\u2019 to another flag before the provisional period expires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Windward listed Togo as being among ship registries that flagged ships with little to no oversight, along with Antigua and Barbuda, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Belize, Cameroon, Comoros, Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras, Hong Kong, Liberia, Mongolia, Oman, Panama, San Marino, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, St. Kitts and Nevis, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In the Pacific, other registries noted by Windward include the Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Palau, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.<\/p>\n

The crew onboard the Raider <\/em>at the time of the drug seizure is 10 Honduran citizens and one from Ecuador.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
