And finally… Coka Nostra

Police have seized around 2.5 tonnes of cocaine sealed in bricks and stamped with the logo of gangster movie The Godfather.

Ten people have been arrested in connection with the vast quantities of the drug, some of which was found in a warehouse in Lisbon while the rest was found being transported over the Spain-Portugal border.

Each brick, containing about a kilo of cocaine, was decorated, some with logos for Rolls-Royce and Mini as well as the 1972 crime film logo.

Other cocaine bricks with the film label have been seized by international police in the past, according to Emisoras Unidas.
