It was loaded with rails and cranes to haul hashis straight into Europe, hidden under a warehouse. They grabbed 17 metric tons of the stuff, plus 1.4 million euros in cash, that's about $1,600,000. The setup had three levels, a drop shaft, a room for stacking pallets, and the main tunnel burrowing across the border.
