Major drug busts suggest Russia is becoming a hub for cocaine heading to Europe

• Russian authorities made a large-scale seizure of cocaine in Moscow on April 10.
• The bust follows another in St. Petersburg last month and other major seizures in recent years.
• The seizures could mean Russia's role as a drug-trafficking transit point to Europe is increasing.

Another major cocaine seizure on Russian territory suggests that the country may be becoming a transit point for cocaine to European markets amid intensified inspection efforts on the continent's largest ports.
