The drug seller sent a shipment of 340 grams of liquid cocaine worth $55,000 to the Vatican Post Office concealed within 14 condoms.

The drug-stuffed condoms were sent from an unknown country in South America.

The package was discovered en route to the Vatican when it was intercepted at the Leipzig, Germany airport.

There was no specific person addressed on the package, so reportedly any one of the Vatican City residents could have claimed it.

German police informed Vatican law enforcement of the sting operation, so that the person who came to pick up the shipment could be arrested, but the package was unclaimed. It is believed that the buyer was alerted to the police involvement. Vatican City officials are unsure if the tip came from Germany, South America, or within.

According to Religion News Service, Rev. Federico Lombardi, chief spokesman of the Vatican said that there was cooperation between between Vatican and German officials, but did not elaborate.

No suspects in the case have yet been determined.
