They looked like a real football team — with snarling coach included. But
the 10 men arrested at the weekend in Spain’s southern province of Cadiz were
not going to play a match, despite their yellow and blue kit. They were drug
traffickers who used their footballs, knapsacks and club strips, emblazoned with
the team name of a local town, Guillen Moreno CF, as a ruse to fool border
police as they passed from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in North Africa, to
Algeciras, on the southern Spanish mainland, a police spokesman in Cadiz said.
The fake team would usually cross the Straits of Gibraltar into the province of
Cadiz on Saturday afternoons with the hash tucked beneath their jerseys and
stage a drama to enhance their credibility before border agents. The supposed
manager, 49, would carry a roster in his hand and continuously bark at the young
men “Everybody pay attention, everybody stay right here!” and “Come on, follow
me!”. The players would cross back to Ceuta on Sundays after the fictional match
and actual drug sales in Spain. Police do not know how long the fake season
lasted before a tip spurred an investigation. The game ended when officers
stopped their cars in Cadiz and found a total of 16kg of hash hidden beneath the
men’s strips in little pellets taped to their bodies. |
