Libya police pounce on 'Putin pot'
BENGHAZI (AFP) - Libya’s anti-drug squad on Monday announced the discovery of 323 bars of hashish wrapped with images of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The 250-gramme (nine-ounce) bars were found in Al-Marj in the country’s northeast, an anti-narcotics authority official told AFP.
Pictures of the pot cache were passed around on social media, each bar wrapped in cellophane and topped with a photograph of the Russian leader with a grim expression and black tie.
Drug and alcohol trafficking have exploded since Libya collapsed into lawlessness after a 2011 revolt that toppled dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
