Indonesian authorities have arrested a 42-year-old Peruvian woman, identified only as N.S., after discovering 1.4 kilograms of cocaine and 43 ecstasy pills concealed in a sex toy inserted in her body and in her underwear. She was detained at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport on 12 August after customs officers, suspicious of her behaviour on an incoming flight from Qatar, referred the case to the police. Bali police narcotics unit director Radiant told reporters that the drugs were hidden in multiple plastic packages wrapped in duct tape inside a green bra, black underwear and the sex toy. Investigators said the woman admitted she had been promised about US$19,000–20,000 by a contact she met on the dark web in April to transport the narcotics from Barcelona to the resort island. Prosecutors have charged N.S. under Indonesia’s stringent narcotics legislation, which allows for the death penalty for large-scale trafficking offences. Indonesia maintains some of the world’s toughest drug laws, although executions have been on hold since 2017, and dozens of foreign nationals remain on death row for drug convictions.
