Recently, the Capital Airport Customs seized 123 cocaine pills, weighing 1,580.44 grams, from an arriving foreign man who was smuggling drugs in the form of hidden drugs in his body. This is the largest drug smuggling case seized by Beijing Customs in the past five years in the travel inspection channel.
When supervising the entry flight of the same day, the Customs officers of Beijing Capital Airport found that a foreign male passenger had not declared any goods or articles to the Customs in the process of entry clearance and was suspicious and tense, after further inquiry and investigation, the Customs officers initially determined that there was a suspicion of drug hiding in the human body.
In the course of the on-site investigation, the suspect discharged from his body four columnar particles wrapped in milky-white plastic and rubber membranes, which were initially examined as cocaine. After the customs officers handed them over to the anti-smuggling department, the suspect was sent to a designated medical institution for further examination and supervision of detoxification. Subsequently, the suspect repeatedly discharged the poison pill hidden in his body, which was detected as high-purity cocaine by professional organizations.
Human drug hiding is a common means of drug smuggling, and the possessor usually wraps the drugs into pills and swallows them. The drugs wrapped in plastic film are corroded by stomach acid in the human body, which is very likely to ooze out or rupture the drugs, thus leading to acute poisoning or even death. The hiding of drugs in the human body can also lead to violence, crime and a series of other social problems, seriously undermining social harmony and stability and threatening the lives and property of the people.
