Cocaine is flooding into Europe and the continent's drug enforcement agencies have seized more than 30 tonnes in the past year alone.
Some of Europe's biggest ports have become a battleground for global cartels and these criminal empires, from central and South America, are now embedded across the continent. These criminal enterprises are rewriting the rule book on international drug trafficking and exploiting new trade routes.
One factor pushing the cartel to expand operations is increasing pressure from the American authorities on one of its main revenue streams: supplying fentanyl and cocaine to the US market.
However, Europe's security services are fighting back and have joined forces with other nations.
But is Europe really ready to tackle the world's most powerful gangs and for what might be coming next?
