Fox News
More than 100 pounds of cocaine branded with “CR7” — the nickname of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo — were seized on Monday afternoon in a luxury residential complex in the Queens borough of New York City, according to federal prosecutors.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement, "These defendants allegedly brought a massive amount of cocaine into our community while illegally armed. Working together, law enforcement will always go after those who would degrade our borough by trying to set up dangerous, illegal enterprises here. I want to thank all those involved in this investigation for their hard work and efforts that continue to keep our neighborhoods safe." This isn't the first time Ronaldo's nickname or likeness has been part of a drug bust. In 2017, the soccer star's image was emblazoned on the packaging of 517 grams of cannabis resin and 50 grams of cocaine seized by police in Southern France.More Related News
