Another SA drug mule caught

A South African woman hiding nearly a kilogram of cocaine in her body was arrested in Brazil as she went to check in for a flight to Rio de Janeiro with a connection to Europe, officials said on Thursday. (from IOL)

X-rays confirmed that the woman had capsules containing the drug in her stomach, vagina and rectum. They were removed by surgery, Brazilian police said.

Officers were alerted to the suspect by an anonymous tip-off before she turned up in Sao Paulo's domestic airport for the Rio flight. She was to have flown out to Madrid and Istanbul.

Cannabis is SAFER than smuggling cocaine and having a Brazilian doctor cut you open to get it out
