About This Program

Cocaine Pyjamas is an episode‑style programme that follows a series of law‑enforcement actions linked to a drug‑smuggling operation. The title hints at the unusual method used to conceal the illicit cargo, and the episode presents the events as they unfold across different points of entry. The focal point of the story is Italy’s busiest airport, where police officers carried out a seizure that uncovered a large quantity of cocaine. The narcotics had been drenched in pyjamas before being stashed inside a stuffed animal, a tactic that aimed to disguise the drugs among seemingly innocuous luggage. The operation highlights the lengths to which traffickers will go to evade detection, and it showcases the swift response of the authorities once the contraband was identified. In a separate but related scene, immigration officers detained a number of passengers as part of the broader crackdown. Those travellers were stopped for questioning, illustrating how the investigation extended beyond the initial discovery at the airport. The episode ties these moments together to give viewers a snapshot of coordinated policing efforts aimed at disrupting the smuggling network.
