Two Russians who were carrying cocaine from Brazil in their stomachs were caught in Vnukovo at Vnukovo airport – intracavity contraband was detected using X-rays. This was reported on Monday, November 8, to Lente.ru by the press service of the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia.
According to the agency, two Russian citizens flew from Istanbul to Moscow, but initially came from Brazilian São Paulo, from where the contraband was transported. During the inspection, X-ray examination revealed “foreign objects” in the gastrointestinal tract.
Then the passengers were sent to a medical hospital. There, 100 containers of white powder were removed from the detainees; a rapid test showed it to be cocaine. The total weight of the “cargo” is 961 grams.
The smugglers were previously convicted of serious crimes. At the moment, two criminal cases on drug smuggling have been opened.
