Customs officers at Germany’s Cologne Bonn Airport have seized cocaine worth millions that they said was disguised as ground coffee, hidden in paper drawings and even inside bars of soap.
A statement released March 21 by the Central Customs Office in Cologne, Germany, said that its officers had seized about 136 pounds (62.2 kilograms) of cocaine hidden in parcels at Germany’s seventh-busiest passenger airport in the first six weeks of the year alone, a sixfold increase compared to last year.
