Cocaine & Acetone-made FIFA World Cup replica seized

A replica of the FIFA World Cup trophy, made of 11 kg cocaine mixed with acetone or gasoline, was seized at the international airport in Colombia, according to an article on CNN.

 

The 36 cm-tall statue was painted gold with green stripes on the base, but the paint was in such a 'bad condition' that it aroused suspicion. The local drugs chief said that the cocaine had been mixed with acetone or gasoline to make it more mouldable.
