@c5news: Ecuadorian police seized 370 packages of cocaine from a truck on Wednesday near the Colombian border. The green packages featuring the name and image of football star Erling Haaland were plastered all over the cocaine bricks, which weighed a total of 369 kilograms (813 pounds). In the released footage, the stickers also show a World Cup trophy and a football alongside the striker's face. Haaland was one of the top scorers at the recent 2026 World Cup, where his charismatic performances sparked a wave of viral videos and memes. Drug traffickers frequently use the names and likenesses of high-profile figures - including Lionel Messi in past seizures. This sort of branding is used to identify criminal networks or specific clients. Authorities confirmed the official statement made no mention of why Haaland's image was targeted. The truck driver was arrested. The operation took place in an area known as Guagua Negro, near the border city of Tulcán. Ecuador remains a prominent logistical hub in international drug-trafficking routes, where narcotics are collected and stored before being distributed to Central America, the United States, and Europe. #5News #erlinghaaland #football
