A WOMAN has been arrested for trying to smuggle $US70,000 ($79,000) into the Dominican Republic — in her stomach.
A National Drug Control Agency spokesman said the cash, likely tied
to drug trafficking, was divided up among 16 capsules. The 40-year-old
woman also allegedly carried $US69,000 hidden inside her suitcase.
The
alleged smuggler was arrested at the airport in the popular tourist
district of Punta Cana after arriving on a flight from Brussels. Her
name has not been released.
Dominican authorities say this is the first time they have arrested someone who was smuggling money in their stomach.
