An interesting incident occurred at Manchester Airport. Larissa Lins, a 27-year-old woman from Brazil and a mother of four, was caught upon entering the country. Lins claimed she came to England for a holiday. However, while showing photos on her phone to the officials, she accidentally displayed images of drugs. This raised suspicions and led to a detailed search. During the search, cocaine pellets were found on Lins' body and in her bra. A total of 99 pellets were seized, which is equivalent to about 1 kilogram of cocaine. The street value of this amount of drugs is quite high. In court, Lins admitted her guilt. The defense attorney stated that her client got involved in this out of desperation and was used by organized criminals. Lins expressed remorse and stated that she wanted to return to her family. The judge emphasized that drug trafficking is a serious crime and sentenced Lins to three years in prison. After serving part of her sentence, she is expected to be deported to Brazil. This incident provides an important lesson about the risks and consequences of drug trafficking. It also demonstrates how international organized crime groups exploit vulnerable individuals. Similar incidents are also encountered in Turkey. Such news alerts young people and families about the dangers of drugs and raises awareness about the legal consequences.
