Claim 1: “About 1,080 tons of wood were found laced with illegal drugs”
MISLEADING
The claim states 1,080 tons of wood were 'laced with illegal drugs'. While DW reports 1,080 tons of wood were involved, other sources clarify that the actual amount of drugs seized was 108 tons (108 tonnes) hidden within the timber. The claim conflates the weight of the carrier (wood) with the weight of the drugs, or misrepresents the scale of the narcotics themselves.
