Germans Intercept Cocaine Being Shipped To Vatican
Somebody’s buzz just got seriously harshed. Worse yet, look at how they packed it up for shipment…
The drug haul was unremarkable, but the destination raised eyebrows.
German weekly Bild am Sonntag reported Sunday that customs officials intercepted a cocaine shipment destined for the Vatican in January.
Officers at Leipzig airport found 340 grams (12 ounces) of the drug packed into 14 condoms inside a shipment of cushions coming from South America.
The paper says the package was simply addressed to the Vatican postal office, meaning any of the Catholic mini-state’s 800 residents could have picked it up.
