Honduran authorities confiscated parcels containing the drug cocaine with an original copy of the identity card of the most famous Colombian drug trafficker, Pablo Escobar, who died 28 years ago.
The seizures amounted to 25 kilogrammes of drugs on board a boat on the coast of Mosquitia in eastern Honduras, after a Honduran navy boat chased it.
The spokesman for the armed forces, Lieutenant Jose Coelho said that the smugglers managed to escape: “The smugglers used to put slogans, names or numbers on parcels containing drugs to be able to distinguish it from others, but this time they put a picture on it. And it was the face of Pablo Escobar, who was killed in 1993 in Medellin during an operation carried out by the Colombian police”.
