The three traffickers reportedly wanted $1.6 million for the uranium-235 and uranium-238 that totaled 481.4 grammes.
At a news conference held in Bratislava, Slovak deputy police president Michal Kopcik revealed that the radioactive uranium had been in powder form, making it all the more dangerous.

SNIP:
The prospective buyers of the radioactive material were not arrested as the seizure was made before the transaction took place. Police officials have not said who the buyers were.
The Slovak authorities have not yet disclosed how enriched the uranium was, but the kind of money allegedly being demanded for the material has raised suspicions that it is relatively high-grade.
