Staff at the UN identified the bags as “obvious fakes” after they triggered a
security alert at the Manhattan headquarters of the international forum.
“The working theory now is that possibly it was never meant to have left
Mexico at all,” Mr Browne said. “Somebody in Mexico is probably in trouble
now having let a significant amount of cocaine out of their possession.”
UN officials said the bags were like flour sacks but were the wrong color or
material to be any kind of official bag.
“It was not a diplomatic pouch. That I can say categorically,” UN spokesman
Martin Nesirky said.
