A man from Benin was arrested recently in the Mohammed V airport in Casablanca with 50 cocaine bags in his stomach, reports "Aujourd'hui Le Maroc" daily. He had taken a flight from Brazil to Lisbon and landed in Morocco on Friday.

He rose suspicion after complaining from discomfort. A medical examination found that the passenger had foreign bodies in his stomach. The criminal police brought him to justice after finding 42 cocaine bags in his stomach. Eight bags are still in the mule's belly.

The merchandise is worth over one million DH (over US$ 100,000).
