Ex-Real Madrid signing Congo detained in drug bust: source

Former Colombian international Edwin Congo, a one-time Real Madrid signing, was detained in a drugs bust in Madrid on Tuesday, police sources told AFP.

Ten people were detained in a police operation concerning a cocaine trafficking network but Congo, 43, was released after making a statement.

The former international striker Congo joined Madrid in 1999 but never made it into the first team, enjoying relative success after moving on to Levante in 2002.
