Smuggler Caught After Swallowing More Than 80 Plastic Bags Stuffed With $100,000

A Venezuelan man who tried to smuggle $103,500 out of Jamaica after he swallowed more than 80 plastic packages containing notes eight months ago has been sentenced to three months in prison.  Eddy Alberio Mancipe Oretga, 41, was arrested at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay as he attempted to make his way to Trinidad. It took him two days to pass out the plastic packages which equal £62,000.

He however didn’t serve any jail term as directed by the court because he already spent 8 months in police custody and was immediately deported from the country.
