According to Globo, the unusual drug marketing strategy was discovered during a seizure made by the police in São Vicente, in the state of São Paulo.

At the time of arrest, military police collected 43 rocks of crack, 31 capsules of cocaine, and over 80 grams of marijuana from a 27-year-old man.

The police then noticed that the cocaine capsules had the image of Brazil's most famous footballer plastered on them.

According to the alleged dealer, the image of the Barcelona star helped assure his customers that the drug was of "the best quality".
