Paraguayan nabbed for drug trafficking at OR Tambo
A woman who was nabbed at the OR Tambo International Airport for alleged drug trafficking has spent the weekend in hospital.
Police say the 43-year-old Paraguayan landed at the Gauteng airport from Brazil on Friday.
SAPS spokesperson Amanda van Wyk says she was taken to the hospital, where X-rays revealed the presence of foreign objects in her stomach.
The drug mule had landed from São Paulo when he was arrested by police officials at the airport.
"The drug mule was taken to a local hospital where a medical x-ray revealed the presence of foreign objects in her stomach. A total of 33 drug bullets containing cocaine were subsequently released."
Her arrest marks the fourth drug trafficker arrested at the airport in the last two weeks
