The officer identified the traveller when he stepped off the plane.
He admitted to having swallowed ‘several’ bags containing heroin to try avoid detection.
The man was transported to a hospital for tests, and then the drugs were removed.
The 102 bags, weighing 1.14 kg each, were a shocking discovery.
He was lucky that none of the containers split. This would have almost certainly killed him.
The nationality of the man was not revealed and he was sent to jail after his court appearance.
Policia Nacional investigations are continuing.
