BOGOTÁ: This is the shocking moment customs officers make an amazing discovery after unzipping two suitcases.
Wrapped in cling film, more than a dozen kilo bricks of cocaine are removed for testing as the “smuggler” watches on.
The guy, who gave his name as Victor Munoz, was picked out from a queue as he waited to board a plane from Bogota in Colombia to Mexico.
Munoz admitted twice he knew what the cases contained before police opened them to find the cocaine.
By the time they came to the second case and asked him what it held, he confessed nonchalantly: “The same as the first one.”
Police chief Diego Rosero said: “We are probing the possibility his job was simply to check in the suitcases which an accomplice working as a luggage handler would then pick up and get on the plane without them passing through security.
“The idea would be that the same would happen in Mexico. We are looking into that possibility.
“The man we arrested is a naive person who fell into a trap set by the mafia.”
If convicted of drugs trafficking, he faces 15 years in prison.
