A Honduran woman carrying 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) of liquid cocaine in her
chest implants was arrested at the airport in Colombia’s capital Bogota
on Friday, police said.
Paola Deyanira Sabillon, 22, was attempting to travel to
Spain when her apparent nervousness aroused suspicion in the security
line, airport police colonel Diego Rosero told journalists.
X-rays revealed a recent surgery on Sabillon’s breasts and she
confessed that an unknown substance had been implanted which she was
meant to take to Barcelona, police added.
Authorities said a preliminary investigation showed that the surgery
took place at a clandestine clinic in the city of Pereira, in western
Colombia. The implants were removed at a Bogota hospital where Sabillon
is also being treated for an infection. Some 300 tonnes of cocaine are
produced per year in Colombia, long a hub for drug production and
trafficking.
