cocaine smuggling ring that was operating through funeral homes

Posted On 21:38 by Reporter 0 comments


13 members of a drug organization that was using ambulances to deliver the goods.
After a 2-year investigaion, the National Financial Police uncovered a cocaine smuggling ring that was operating through funeral homes as a cover for their activity.While the movement was primarily cocaine, they also were trafficking in hashish and marijuana. They would patrol the night club areas around hospitals and as an order would come in they would take the drugs in the ambulance directly to the customer. Still one more use for the “drug box.”

Two bakers, a husband and wife team, have been arrested in the Sicilian city of Palermo for baking cocaine-laced bread rolls, a police spokesman said Monday.
The spokesman said the couple added cocaine to the dough used for the 'special' rolls, which were sold to a stream of steady clients.
During a search of the bakers' apartment, another 40 grams of cocaine, intended for the same purpose, was discovered.
They were charged with drug dealing, and now face six to 20 years behind bars.
