A BBC investigation has tracked down a British man whom Brazil Police accuse of trying to traffic cocaine with a street value of about £100m ($134m) from South America to Europe.
Authorities in Brazil believe he hired an innocent crew to sail his yacht across the Atlantic, but when they had to make an emergency stop off the coast of West Africa, police there found more than a tonne of the drug hidden in secret compartments below deck.
BBC Africa Eye and Cape Verdean rapper Ga DaLomba have investigated ‘Highway 10’, the transatlantic drug smuggling route.
