Italian priest jailed for cocaine possession
Published: Thursday April 12, 2007

An Italian priest was sentenced Thursday to three and a half years in jail for possessing cocaine with the intention of selling it, according to local media.

The ANSA news agency reported that Father (name redacted -- feel free to Google), 44, was arrested last September in possession of half a kilogramme (about a pound) of cocaine with a street value of about half a million euros (675,000 dollars).

A police dog had detected the drug in a package mailed from South America and addressed to a certain Don Ziliotti in Perugia.

After some sleuthing, police identified (name redacted -- feel free to Google), arrested him and searched his home, where they found a small scale, substances to cut with the cocaine and some marijuana, ANSA said.

The priest claimed to be unaware of the contents of the package, which he said was given to him by someone he was helping "on a spiritual path."

On Thursday, Judge Paolo Micheli sentenced both (name redacted -- feel free to Google) and an accomplice to three and a half years in jail.

ANSA said the two men had gone to Colombia last year and used (name redacted -- feel free to Google)'s savings to buy the cocaine, which they mailed to Italy.

Viva la Italia!!!

Sweet, the new slogan of Catholic priests "We'll play with your kids and give you some blow."

It's a habit of mine. It sometimes induces mass hysteria.

I'm impressed, BB73. I'm guessing you could sell a bit of anything to anyone.

Priest are basically a one-stop shop for sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

I am in the wrong business.

Yeah, but it's probably shitty blow, the sex is with little boys, and the rock'n'roll is Winger.

Still wanna be a priest?

I must confess, I once thought your witicisms were pewny. Now that the shroud has been removed from my eyes, I can wholly see that you are indeed, the pope of puns.
