A former U.S. Embassy staffer has been arrested and charged in a scheme to smuggle cocaine into New York, using packages of Marlboro cigarettes and Choco Pie snack boxes as disguises. The individual, a security officer who worked at the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic, has been extradited to the United States following detention in Santo Domingo. Authorities allege that the worker also included other duty-free goods, such as Johnny Walker whiskey, in the smuggling operation. The Department of Justice has revealed the details of the operation, highlighting the use of common consumer products to conceal illegal drugs.
