The man's enormous-sized hairpiece immediately tipped off security personnel upon his arrival at Barcelona's airport from Bogota.
After being asked to remove his wig, police found $34,000 of cocaine sitting atop his head, Reuters reports.
“There is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls,” the Spanish National Police said in a statement.
