Bolivian man was arrested after he was found with 94 large capsules containing drugs which he had swallowed and smuggled into the country.Kuala Lumpur police chief DCP Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the 29-year-old, a suspected drug mule, had swallowed the drugs in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before taking a 23-hour flight and landing in KLIA airport on October 10.“A narcotics team from Brickfields led by Insp Mohd Sofian raided a luxury hotel room where the man was staying, after receiving a tip off.“We also arrested another person in the hotel room, a 37-year-old Thai woman,” DCP Sabtu said.Investigations showed that the capsules containing cocaine weighed about 934gm with a street value of RM300,000 and were meant for distribution in neighbouring Thailand.The woman was to have carried the drugs in an express bus back home.DCP Sabtu said each capsule was wrapped in three layers.“The first layer is fingertips of rubber gloves, second, aluminium foil and the third layer was plastic. The capsule was then tied with dental floss.“With this method, the drugs are not damaged by the strong acids found in the stomach,” he said,He added that the suspect had smothered the capsules with lady’s finger juice (lendir) to help ease the swallowing of the large capsules.He added that the suspect retrieved the capsules after passing faeces.“It is believed that he ate a lot upon reaching here to induce the need to go to the toilet and retrieve the drugs,” a bemused DCP Sabtu told reporters at a press conference in the city police headquarters on Wednesday.
DCP Sabtu said the suspect was believed to have been paid USD5,000 by the drug syndicate in Argentina and was scheduled to be on a return flight to Bolivia a few days.Both suspects have been remanded until Saturday under Section 39 (b) of the Dangerous Drugs Act and, if convicted, face the death penalty.Police are also working with Interpol to track down the syndicate.DCP Sabtu warned that this method of smuggling drugs was very dangerous.In two other cases this year in Kuala Lumpur, a man from Tanzania and the other from Pakistan had died after swallowing the capsules with drugs, he said.
