BERLIN -- The drug haul was unremarkable, but the destination raised eyebrows.
German weekly Bild am Sonntag reported Sunday that customs officials intercepted a cocaine shipment destined for the Vatican in January.
Officers at Leipzig airport found 12 ounces of the drug packed into 14 condoms inside a shipment of cushions coming from South America.
The paper says the package was simply addressed to the Vatican postal office, meaning any of the Catholic mini-state's 800 residents could have picked it up.
Citing a German customs report, the paper adds that a sting operation arranged with Vatican police didn't lure a possible recipient. The drugs would have a street value of several tens of thousands of euros (dollars).
Neither German customs nor the Vatican could be immediately reached for comment.

Since the Vatikan police was involved in the sting, I would think it is highly likely that anyone who would have wanted to receive the package of the 800, would have found out about the sting, esp. if it was one of the higher ups. I think it is also likely that a drug baron may have sent the package as a prank...
