Drug ring dies at funeral

Hundreds of mourners who gathered for a traditional Greek Orthodox funeral service near Athens were in for a surprise when they were served cocaine-coated biscuits, radio reports said.

Relatives of the deceased had ordered the biscuits for the reception from a local bakery, whose workers collaborated with a Bulgarian drug smuggling ring.

The drug traffickers attempted to smuggle more than 60kg of cocaine by decorating hundreds of biscuits with the powdery drug.

A bakery employee mistakenly delivered the wrong biscuits to the funeral, which were devoured by the mourners.
