At Ngurah Rai Airport, a 42-year-old Peruvian citizen with the initials NSBC was detained. She was found with one and a half kilos of cocaine and 85 ecstasy pills.
According to the police, the woman agreed to transport the drugs on behalf of a fellow national, PB, whom she met on the darknet. She was promised a reward of 20,000 dollars (approximately 320 million rupiahs). In Barcelona, she received the drug packages and hid part in her underwear and part in a sex toy, which she placed in her vagina. On August 11, she flew with Qatar Airways and landed in Denpasar late the next day.
Customs officers noticed her behavior and found the drugs during an inspection. An accomplice was supposed to meet the courier, but after she didn't show, he left.
The woman could face the death penalty, life imprisonment, or between 5 to 20 years in prison and a hefty fine under articles 113 and 114 of law No.35/2009 on narcotics. The police continue to search for PB and his network, suspecting the cocaine was intended for foreigners.
From January to August 2025, ten foreigners have already been detained in Bali on drug-related charges, most often with cocaine and methamphetamine. The head of the customs investigation department, Heri Purwanto, noted that the service identifies carriers through suspicious behavior, and X-rays are used as an additional measure, although smugglers constantly seek new ways to deceive.
