Peru law enforcement seized 1,417 kilos of cocaine, much of it adorned with logos that bear the photo and name of Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
According to ESPN Soccer Net, the haul was found wrapped in containers of squid fillets and destined for Belgium.
Peru officials say the drugs were worth an estimated $85 million in street value.
Many packages of the drugs bore Messi's likeness and name, while the rest was wrapped in black packaging with a logo saying "King" with a likeness of the king of Spain.
The logos are used to guarantee the purity of the drugs by the gangs who traffic them, officials say, as well as guaranteeing that drugs, which are packaged in bricks, remain sealed.
A spokesperson for the Peruvian National Police's Anti‑Drugs Office says that no one has been arrested or detained yet.
