Police in Milan made a peculiar drug bust after a parcel of Colombian coffee was found to have cocaine packed individually into hundreds of coffee beans.
The package raised suspicions after airport security noticed it was addressed to “Santino D'Antonio” -- a fictional mafia boss in the “John Wick” movie franchise, in a subtle hint of what was actually brewing.
More than 130 grams of cocaine were found in the shipment, which came from Medellin, in northwest Colombia, and was headed to a tobacco store in Florence. Police have arrested a suspect who allegedly tried to import the drugs, along with a 50-year-old man who came to collect the package at the shop.
Police named the case “caffè scorretto,” meaning incorrect coffee, a take on the popular Italian drink “caffè corretto,” which translates to correct coffee, a drink that is made up of espresso and a shot of sambuca or brandy.
