Romont’s Fascinating History of Cocaine

In French-speaking Switzerland, it’s the story of the week, and it has made a lot of noise elsewhere in the world. Half a ton of cocaine was found in five containers of coffee freshly delivered to a Nespresso factory in Romont, in the canton of Fribourg, enough to satisfy the annual consumption of the canton of Vaud. The white powder, with a degree of purity of 80%, would have a value of more than 50 million francs, according to the Friborg public prosecutor, who opened an investigation. Nespresso employees say they immediately informed the cantonal police on Monday evening.
