男子滿腹鑽石安檢露餡
South African police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of attempting to smuggle 220 diamonds out of the country in his digestive tract through Johannesburg’s main airport.
南非警方逮捕了一名25歲男子，該男子涉嫌試圖利用消化道把220顆鑽石通過約翰內斯堡的主機場走私出境。The Lebanese national bound for Dubai had swallowed $2.25 million worth of polished diamonds before he was stopped before a security checkpoint at Africa’s biggest airport and then relieved of his concealed cargo, police said.
警方表示，該黎巴嫩男子走私價值225萬美元的拋光鑽石，打算飛往迪拜，但在非洲最大的機場的一個安檢點被逮捕，並繳出隱藏起來的鑽石貨物。“We used laxatives to remove the diamonds,” police spokesman Paul Ramaloko said.
警方發言人保羅•拉馬洛科說：“我們用瀉藥使這名男子排泄出那些鑽石。”
In March, police arrested another Lebanese national who was attempting to smuggle $1.69 million worth of diamonds out of South Africa.
南非警方今年3月逮捕另一名涉嫌走私鑽石出境的黎巴嫩男子，截獲市值169萬美元的鑽石。
