The 42-year-old Peruvian woman, identified only as N.S., has been arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs into Bali, including $70,000 worth of cocaine and ecstasy. The police reported that she was acting suspiciously, which prompted customs officials to stop her. An inspection revealed 1.4 kilograms of cocaine and 43 ecstasy pills, hidden in various locations including six packages taped inside her bra, additional packets in her underwear, and a sex toy containing drugs inserted into her body. N.S. reportedly accepted $19,000 to transport these narcotics after meeting a contact via the dark web in April. Having traveled from Barcelona with a stopover in Doha, she arrived at Bali's international airport on August 12. If convicted under Indonesia's strict drug laws, she could face the death penalty, although a temporary moratorium on executions has been in place since 2017. In a related context, three British nationals recently avoided the death penalty for smuggling cocaine disguised as dessert.
