COLOMBIA-VENEZUELA-COSTA RICA-CRIME-DRUGS-MONEY
Handout picture released by the Colombian anti-narcotics police showing eight of the 40 capsules of money found inside the stomach of a man at the airport in Medellin, on September 13, 2012. Colombia police said on September 14 they have arrested two men who had each ingested about $40,000 before trying to enter the country, in what may be a novel form of money laundering. The men were detained separately during the past week at the international airport in Colombia's second city of Medellin and were on flights arriving from Costa Rica, according to security officials here. In the past, "mules" have used a similar method to secret contraband narcotics out of the country, swallowing packets of drugs worth thousands of dollars for sale in lucrative overseas markets. But authorities said they were unfamiliar with use of the same technique to sneak cash into the country.
