How many paychecks around the world, governmental and otherwise, depend on the ‘war on drugs’?
A car with diplomatic plates belonging to the Vatican was stopped by French police and found to be transporting nine pounds of cocaine.
Two Italian men who were entrusted with 91-year-old retired Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia’s vehicle allegedly drove to Spain and picked up the drugs, the Telegraph reported Wednesday. Security staff for the retired Argentinian had instructed the men to take the car in for regularly-scheduled maintenance.
The two men, under the impression that the diplomatic plates would shield them from scrutiny, then allegedly went on the drug run and were caught with the cocaine at a toll station in the French Alps on Sunday, the Telegraph reported.
“Cardinal Mejia is not well and obviously has nothing to do with this,” said Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, the Telegraph reported. “It’s now up to the police to pursue their investigations.”
The arrested individuals were also in possession of seven ounces of cannabis.
Good question
So You Want To Make Sure Everyone Is A Dope-head…….Wonderful…..Free Drugs For Everyone…….Kids Free SAD
must be some crazy parties with pope Francis
Over the past four decades, federal and state governments have poured over $1 trillion into drug war spending and relied on taxpayers to foot the bill. this is f*cking stupid!
Considering the Vatican is it’s very own country just like D.C. There is no LAW to stop them or hold them to the same laws of the land. Which is why they do not care if this truth is reported. There is NOTHING which will ever be done about any of it OR their other crimes against the World and Humanity.
Nice. The pope is throwing com and weed parties. Too bad I’m not catholic.
