Mansoor, who is in South Africa, has transported containers for traders in Kochi and Kozhikode for two years. It is also being checked whether these were sent directly to Kochi port.
313 shipments had arrived for Yummito Foods International in Kalady. All these arrived in Mumbai. Some of these had reached Kochi by ship.
Mansoor owns MoreFresh Exports in Johannesburg. Last week, 198 kg of ultra-pure crystal methamphetamine and 9 kg of cocaine were seized from the orange boxes imported by MoreFresh in Mumbai for the Yummito company. Following this, Yummito's MD Vijin Varghese was arrested. DRI assumes that Mansoor played a major role in drug trafficking and is trying to bring him to India. A complaint has been lodged with the Johannesburg Police against Amrit Patel, the assistant who sent the container that was caught by the DRI, who returned to South Africa from India two weeks ago.
More than half of the hundreds of boxes of exotic fruits stored in the storage facility at Yummito's feet were unusable. These have also been given as feed in the nearby pig farm. Expensive oranges, apples, etc. were sold at low prices in shops and street markets in Kalady. Fruits in boxes stored at the rented premises in the refrigerated warehouse at Vazhakulam are usable. A month and a half ago, Vijin Varghese started a refrigerated warehouse and office in a new building in Kalady. It is not clear whether the company, MoreFresh India, registered in Kochi last year with Vijin and his brother Jibin as directors, conducted the transactions.
