Spanish police on Wednesday arrested a Panamanian woman who landed in
Barcelona from Bogota, Colombia with cocaine stuffed inside her chest
implants.
The woman was taken to the police at Barcelona’s El Prat airport
after her vague answers to questions about the reasons for her trip from
Bogota raised suspicion at the border control, the Interior Ministry
said in a statement.
Spanish authorities carry out rigorous checks of passengers arriving
on so-called “hot flights” from Latin America, to fight drug smuggling.
When border police discovered fresh scars and blood-stained gauze on
the woman’s chest she was taken to a nearby hospital to check her claim
that she had recently undergone chest implant surgery.
The implants were found to carry 1.38 kg of cocaine.
Police and Immigration officers around the world may start having to
feel women’s breasts during airport checks as a woman has proven drugs
could be transported through implants.
