South American criminals also forget about soccer.
Although Barcelona and Argentinian national team leader Lionel Messi is used to his name being mentioned in global advertising campaigns, a completely different situation has unfolded.
These days, an unbelievable amount of cocaine intended for export to Belgium was seized in Peru.
The drugs were wrapped in packages with the image of L.Messi.
Local police report that the cocaine weighed 1.4 tons and was worth a staggering 85 million euros.
