Drug Smuggler Arrested

Customs officials at a Sheremetyevo-2 airport have arrested a Columbian man accused of smuggling a record amount of cocaine inside his stomach. The man was transporting over a kilo of cocaine to Hong Kong via Russia. The Colombian approached a customs officer and asked him for medical help. The officer suspected drug smuggling and the man was taken to a hospital where an X-ray showed that his stomach was packed with special containers filled with cocaine. It turned out that the man was trying to transport 1148 grams of the drug in 86 containers. If sold, it could bring him over one million dollars. Usually, drug smugglers do not swallow more than 600 grams.

This way of transporting is considered to be especially dangerous as it can kill the smuggler if the covers of containers are destroyed in the stomach.

If found guilty, the man might face up to 20 years in a Russian prison. He smuggle drugs by the Columbian mafia.
