Summary
Peruvian police used FIFA World Cup mascots as disguises to capture a 48-year-old man, Carlos Cabrera, during the opening match of the World Cup. The undercover officers, dressed as the mascots, seized 2,524 packets of cocaine. According to Col. Carlos Alcántara, the head of the Green Squadron, the suspect was a die-hard football fan, and the mascots were used to approach him without arousing suspicion. Cabrera faces three to seven years in prison if convicted.
