Drug smugglers have to be creative when they ship massive amounts of cocaine, and sometimes they aren’t clever enough.
Police in Geneva, Switzerland, said they sized half a ton of cocaine from a shipment of coffee bans delivered to a Nespresso plant in that European city.
Who tipped the police off? Some workers in the plant made the call when they discovered a mysterious white powder in sacks of coffee beans.
Here’s part of the statement from the police.
The employees “found an undetermined white substance when they unloaded the freshly delivered sacks of coffee beans.”
Customs officials joined local and federal police as they isolated the cocaine-laced coffee bags and weighed the stash.
It looks like the shipment originated in Brazil and was 80 percent put. The street value of that much cocaine is about $51 million, so there were no doubt some ticked-off drug dealers in Rio when word trickled back to home base.
