Police photo of the confiscated cocaine implants.
In December, a woman flying from Colombia to Spain was going through customs at the Barcelona airport, when authorities noticed she was bleeding from under her breasts. When they questioned her about it, she said she had just had a breast augmentation surgery.
Since the woman had come on a suspicious flight, and security felt she was acting strange, they sent her to the hospital.
That was where medical professionals uncovered 1.4 kilos of cocaine in her new implants.
The implants the woman was carrying could have been sold for over $100,000.00!
A woman using her breasts for the benefit of the illegal inter-country drug trade (a “business” proven to have negative social, ecological, and health effects as well as raise violent crime) barely makes the news. But a woman using her breasts to feed and bond with her child? International headlines for months. Go figure.
