The Belgian Federal Police confirmed the discovery of a smuggled consignment of cocaine packed in bundles with the image of the United Russia logo: a white bear with a tricolor and the inscription "United Russia" in Russian letters. Cocaine, weighing two tons, packed into 1900 packs, was hidden in a cargo of tiles on board a vessel that arrived in the Belgian port of Ghent from Brazil. The cost of this amount of drugs from traffickers reaches 100 million euros. Leading Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws reported that drugs seized on Thursday have already been destroyed by specialized services. In the "United Russia" with humor reacted to this news.

Deputy Secretary of the General Council of the "ER" Yevgeny Revenko joked in Facebook that this is a sign of international fame of the party and that the drug barons used her logo to camouflage. Recall, earlier this year, a consignment of cocaine weighing almost 400 kg was found in the building of the school of the Russian Embassy in Argentina. During a joint operation of Russian and Argentine special services, it was possible to stop the supply of drugs through diplomatic channels to Moscow.
