“Priest” with 7.7 pounds of cocaine

Priest with 7.7 pounds of cocainePriest and cocaineOn January 11 2008 on Amsterdam airport officials have arrested a man that pretending to be a priest tried to smuggle 8 pounds of cocaine hidden under his robe, saying he was carrying sand.

First he refused being body searched for “for religious reasons”.

He also refused to confess who he is and the destinations of the Bolivian marching powder.

The suspect, whose identity was being traced, initially refused to undergo a routine body check “for religious reasons,” spokesman Robert van Kapel said.

He said the man was then spotted lining up at a different entrance gate. He was searched and the drugs were found in packages taped to his body.

He said the man, who was traveling from Bolivia, continued to insist he is a priest and did not confess any wrongdoing, arguing his rights had been violated by the search.

Right now I don't know what

Right now I don't know what to do: to laugh about the silliness of that "priest" or cry thinking about how far people can reach in illegal drug trafficking. Either way things will be the same, that's on more drug trafficker down, there are thousands other to come. Garry, Drug rehab program consultant
