A female smuggler arrived at the Toronto International Airport Feb. 3, and was arrested on charges of smuggling diamonds into the country. The RCMP disclosed that more than 10,000 diamonds were found inside the body of 66-year-old Helena Freida Bodner, who arrived on a flight from Trinidad, but cannot confirm how the diamonds got into her body.

 

Bodner has been in custody for the last two weeks as the investigation continues. She appeared in court Feb. 21. She has since been remanded to appear again in March for smuggling diamonds into the country.

Investigators say it is not uncommon for carriers, or β€œmules” as they are called, to conceal contraband materials, such as drugs in body cavities. One method involves ingestion of condoms filled with materials.

 

Experts suggest that the 1,500 carats of diamonds, valued at close to $400,000, probably originated from nearby mining countries, such as Venezuela, Guyana or Brazil, as Trinidad has no diamond mines.  They also suspect that the massive quantity of unpolished stones were destined for another country, for refining and resale on the black market.

Bai, when I read stories like this I feel sick. The reason for that lie in the distance past. I used to work for a company that had a warehouse at London Heathrow airport. One day a box arrived at our warehouse and somebody signed for it and left it in the goods inwards bay. It stayed there for months before somebody decided to open the parcel. It turned out to be a box from De Beers full of uncut diamonds. I man eye up that box many times and wanted to open it to see what was inside. I would have taken the stones home peace by peace.

I heard a story like that once from a buddy of mine.  He found a box like that at the warehouse that he worked.  He was thinking it was something of value.  When he opened it up it turned out to be a box full of porn magazines featuring 80 year old ladies.  My buddy ran to the washroom and had a long vomit.

Not surprising, once a thief always a thief. Think about how many guns the afc/pnc could buy and Indians killed if you had donated those diamonds to them. Not far removed from the blood diamonds of Africa. 

This is racist,  and also a downright filthy lie by this vile cretinous bubble head.

 

Admin, remember we protested again this transparently malicious attribution by this absurd ignorant fellow only a few days ago. Supposedly be begin to insist out of the blue that the lady is his aunt and this kind of smuggling is a family tradition and treat all criminality likewise?
