Austrian priest arrested for producing crystal meth in church rectory
A Catholic priest in Austria has confessed to producing crystal meth in his parish rectory. The case came to light after authorities arrested the 38-year-old cleric along with a 30-year-old Iraqi citizen from Vienna last week, reported CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner.
A police spokesman told media that investigators from the State Criminal Police Office searched the rectory following an order by the public prosecutor’s office. During the raid, they seized chemicals for producing illegal drugs as well as laboratory equipment. Authorities say they suspect the drugs were intended for sale.

The case has drawn significant attention in Austria, with some media outlets comparing it to the fictional plot of the U.S. TV series “Breaking Bad.”

You don't have to put it in your rectory
It's supposed to be the opiate of the masses!
