A 27-year-old woman was caught red-handed on Saturday night (28), while trying to board a plane bound for Paris, the capital of France, while swallowing cocaine capsules and inserting them into her genitals. The match took place at the Tom Jobim International Airport, Galeão, in the Northern Region.
The criminal, born in Santarém, Pará, was identified as a potential drug trafficking target after a risk management analysis conducted by a team from the Federal Revenue Service. She told agents she swallowed 105 capsules and inserted 260 grams of the drug into her genitals.
Initial tests conducted at the scene revealed the presence of cocaine. The passenger and materials were sent to the Federal Police. The woman will be charged with cross-border drug smuggling, which could carry a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
The work was carried out by employees of the Customs Department of the Federal Revenue Service at Galeão Airport and the Department for Control and Suppression of Smuggling and Embezzlement of the Federal Revenue Service in the 7th Financial District (RJ/ES).
