Cocaine trafficking ring busted in nunnery - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "nuns at the convent in Piacenza 'had no idea it was going on,' Carabinieri Colonel Edoardo Cappellano said.
'A Colombian security guard let in accomplices under the false pretext of pilgrimages or spiritual retreats,' he said.
'Instead of prayer books, he let cocaine through.'
Thirty-three arrests were made, including a dozen Colombians and another 80 people are under investigation.
Italian police believe the Calabrian mafia and at least two Colombian drug cartels are behind the operation and said the arrests dealt 'a major setback to cocaine trafficking' in northern Italy."
