A cross-post from Yahoo!
News — A woman caught with Dhs3 million of drugs in her suitcase claims she was
unwittingly being used as a mule by her husband, Dubai Police said.
The Tanzanian woman was
arrested at Dubai International Airport in transit to her home country from Brazil.
She claims her husband arranged for her to go on a three-month trip to Brazil
so that she could unwind.
However, she told officers
that while on holiday, a friend of her husband asked her to take some bags back
to Tanzania. She was arrested in Dubai after officers at the airport became
suspicious of her behavior. They found 3kg of cocaine in her luggage, worth
Dhs3 million.
“She claimed that her husband
got her in trouble as he offered her a relaxing trip to Brazil and she went for
three months. Her husband’s friend asked her to deliver the bags to her husband
in Tanzania,” an official in anti-narcotics said. The suspect has been referred
to public prosecution
