Last week, judicial police seized the equivalent of approximately 11,000 individual doses of cocaine packed in capsules inside the body of a corpse and discovered when the National Institute of Forensic Medicine carried out an autopsy. “The possible cause of death is considered to be the explosion of at least one of the capsules,” the joint venture said in a statement.
The PS also seized 30,000 individual doses of cocaine arriving from the South American continent at Lisbon airport. The seized drug was transported inside the bodies of two foreign nationals who were detained and placed in preventive detention as part of a police operation to combat drug trafficking by air.
PJ adds that “despite the high risk to human life, criminal networks continue to recruit human couriers, often young people in situations of great economic and/or emotional need, to transport significant quantities of drugs inside the body, luring them to people with large sums of money and at the same time false information about the real risks they face, including to their lives.”
This operation was developed in collaboration with other national and international authorities to prevent the entry of illegal drugs into the country, as well as into Europe.
