The unnamed 40-year-old man, hailing from Colombia’s Espresso Area, acquired snagged by authorities simply earlier than boarding his flight to Amsterdam at Cartagena’s Rafael Núñez Worldwide Airport — after a safety scanner uncovered 9 cocaine capsules cleverly camouflaged beneath an artificial thick black wig.
