In the Siberian city of Bogotol, a doctor was supposed to remove heroin from a drug courier that the man had previously swallowed in capsules in order to transport it unnoticed. However, instead of handing the heroin to the police, the surgeon is said to have served himself. When he was arrested, he was, according to the investigators drug intoxication.

Doctor hid heroin in clothes
After the Russian drug courier was caught by the police, several capsules of heroin were found in an exam in his stomach. The man was then taken to the hospital, where the drug packages should be removed during surgery. But instead of that „valuable“ The surgeon himself used the heroin to deliver the stomach contents of the drug courier to the police. When the man was searched by the police, five grams of the drug had been discovered in his clothes, the Russian investigators said. In addition, the doctor had been drugged. Now the heroin thief must expect a 15-year prison sentence for theft and possession of larger amounts of drugs.

Heroin is common with „Bodypacking“ smuggled by drug couriers
Again and again in Germany, drug couriers are arrested by the police. The so-called „Bodypacking“, drug smuggling in the body of the courier, is even practiced with animals. So in March, a Latin American gang flew to smuggle drugs from Mexico to Italy. For this, they forced large dogs, such as Doges, to swallow drugs. At the destination, the animals should then be killed and dissected to get the drugs. The Italian authorities arrested a total of 75 suspects, 49 of whom have to face trial in Italy. The case had caused great horror, especially among animal rights activists. (Ag)
