South African police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of attempting to smuggle 220 diamonds out of the country in his digestive tract through Johannesburg’s main airport.
南非警方逮捕了一名25岁男子，该男子涉嫌试图利用消化道把220颗钻石通过约翰内斯堡的主机场走私出境。The Lebanese national bound for Dubai had swallowed $2.25 million worth of polished diamonds before he was stopped before a security checkpoint at Africa’s biggest airport and then relieved of his concealed cargo, police said.
警方表示，该黎巴嫩男子走私价值225万美元的抛光钻石，打算飞往迪拜，但在非洲最大的机场的一个安检点被逮捕，并缴出隐藏起来的钻石货物。“We used laxatives to remove the diamonds,” police spokesman Paul Ramaloko said.
警方发言人保罗•拉马洛科说：“我们用泻药使这名男子排泄出那些钻石。”
In March, police arrested another Lebanese national who was attempting to smuggle $1.69 million worth of diamonds out of South Africa.
南非警方今年3月逮捕另一名涉嫌走私钻石出境的黎巴嫩男子，截获市值169万美元的钻石。
