A woman has been busted after carrying cocaine in Madrid's international airport through her breast implants.
Spanish authorities have recently arrested a Venezuelan woman who arrived in Madrid from Bogota, Colombia for carrying an illegal drug. Although routine screenings reveal nothing suspicious in her luggage, it was later on known that she was actually hiding the drug somewhere in her body. Narcotics agents eventually become suspicious of the woman when she started showing some strange behavior.
Women agents have also spotted unusual with the woman's body especially her boobs. It was said that her boobs appeared to have some irregularities and deformities. Becoming nervous after her confrontation with the police, the drug handler then confessed that she is actually carrying something with her.
The Venezuelan woman was then rushed to the hospital from the airport wherein she was detained for an alleged crime against public health. The cocaine placed on her breast implants have been also removed ion the hospital. Authorities were able to recover a total of 1.7 kilograms of drug from the woman's breasts.
Using of breast implants as a container to smuggle cocaine in and out of the airport is no longer new to the authorities. Drug smugglers have different means of trying to carry the prohibited drugs with them without being noticed. The human body has actually become as the reservoir of any illegal drugs that's being moved from one country to another.
"There were alerts put out several years ago about concerns about terrorists using breast implants as a way to move bombs, so it's one of those things in the plastic surgery community we are aware of," Dr. Matthew Schulman said according to New York Daily news.
The current news is actually not the first time that a woman in the airport has been busted for keeping cocaine in the breasts. According to the Guardian, a woman from Bogota arriving in Barcelona has been found with 1.4 kilograms of the said illegal drugs implanted in her fake breasts.
