The 24-year-old from Brazil, who was arrested at the airport on Saturday after it was found that she had swallowed a large quantity of cocaine destined for the Cypriot market, continues to be treated at Larnaka Hospital.
According to philenews, the young woman told members of the Drug Enforcement Administration that she swallowed 164 preparations containing about a kilogram of cocaine. So far she has miscarried about 40 of them, while she is under constant medical supervision since if any of them break, then her life will be in immediate danger. The 24-year-old had arrived at Larnaka airport on Saturday morning from Brazil via Doha.
Members of the YKAN, in cooperation with the Customs Authorities, in the context of the checks carried out to detect drugs, stopped it for inspection. Her luggage was searched and nothing objectionable was found, and she then reported having cocaine-containing drugs in her body.
A radiological examination followed at Larnaka General Hospital, where it was found that she had a number of foreign bodies on her body and she was detained for hospitalization. The woman was arrested and remanded in custody for eight days by the Larnaca District Court, in proceedings held at Larnaka General Hospital.
Interpol has been informed about the case, while the 24-year-old's contacts are under the microscope in order to identify the recipients of drugs in Cyprus.
