According to the Federal Police (PF), the Angolan was carrying cocaine packaged in foil and wrapped inside the shoes packed in six suitcases. The material was detected during a routine screening with the aide of an x-ray machine. The drugs were seized and the suspect was taken to the Joaquim Ferreira de Souza Jail in Bangu.
Also according the PF, a Tanzanian embarking on the same flight to the Angolan capital, Luanda, was caught with 61 capsules of cocaine hidden on his body. About half of the drugs were bound to the suspects legs and the other half was found inside his underwear.
The spokesman for the PF added that the capsules carried by the Tanzanian were discovered when the man passed through a Body Scan machine, a device capable of detecting in seconds objects concealed under clothing or even inside the body of a passenger. The Tanzanian suspect was taken to the Ary Franco Jail in Agua Santa.
Both will be charged with international drug trafficking and, if convicted, will face 5 to 15 years imprisonment.
