Brazilian Woman Arrested in Bali with 3.6 Kilograms of Liquid Cocaine

A 36-year-old Brazilian woman was arrested at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, Indonesia, on suspicion of smuggling liquid cocaine. Police seized 3.6 kilograms of liquid cocaine hidden in seven skincare bottles inside her luggage.

The suspect, identified by the initials TCDS, was arrested upon arrival on the island in a joint operation involving customs and the Bali police narcotics unit. Investigators suspect she acted as a drug mule after being offered $50,000 to transport the narcotics from Brazil.

According to authorities, she was also promised funding for accommodation and transportation during the trip. Indonesian police described the seizure as one of the largest liquid cocaine busts on the island in recent years. If convicted, she faces the death penalty under strict local drug laws.
