SAO PAULO - A Brazilian priest caught with 11 kilos of cocaine hidden
beneath his cassock told police he was trafficking the drugs to save a
struggling day care center, local media said. Police caught Fr. Jorge Saliba
trying to board a flight from Sao Paulo to Amsterdam in what the priest said
was his fifth international drug run.
Saliba said each delivery paid $30,000, money that he said went to a
church-sponsored children's day-care center in a poor Sao Paulo urban
neighborhood.
