Cocaine is flooding into Europe. Where is it coming from?

"Big discount: 3 grams for 150 euros!!!" In Paris, ordering cocaine on encrypted messaging platforms like Telegram or Signal is now as easy as ordering a pizza. It's a similar story in most of Europe's big cities, where twenty or so minutes after you place your order a dealer can be at your door. The continent has become one of the most lucrative markets for big drug cartels, who have not hesitated in using the corruption and extreme violence that has served them so well in South America. AFP teams have spent several months investigating the trade, following the drug from the coca fields of Colombia to European homes.
