MODEL ACCUSED OF USING BREAST & BUTTOCK IMPLANTS TO SMUGGLE COCAINE

A 33-year-old woman was charged in December with international drug trafficking after she was found carrying more than five pounds of cocaine - with an estimated value of £250,000 that had been molded inside artificial breast and buttocks implants.


The woman, a model identified only as MFM, was detained by security personnel at Rome's Fiumicino Airport after a flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina - a route not uncommon to drug traffickers, according to the Daily Mail of London.



"She tried to distract them with a plunging neckline and tight outfit, but they stopped her for questioning because she was so alluring," Fiumicino Airport Police Chief Antonio DiGreco told the Daily Mail. Two female officers found the cocaine inside the inserts, he added.



Authorities began their search of the suspect after she failed to adequately explain the reason behind her trip to Argentina, the newspaper reported.
