Customs officers at Istanbul Airport seized 2.6 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside the paintings of late Argentine football legend Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday.

The suspicious behavior of a 72-year-old German national of Croatian origin who arrived at the airport from Colombia caught the attention of officers. As a precaution, the officers ran an X-ray scan of his luggage. A further probe with sniffer dogs raised suspicion of an “unusual density” inside the paintings. When officers removed the backs of the paintings, they found cocaine hidden in tiny plates inside.
