The court heard how Tainara Dernandes Da Silva was caught carrying 66 capsules of co- caine in her stomach and genital area while travelling on a flight from Barcelona to Malta on Sunday. During a sitting presided over by Magistrate Noel Bartolo, the Court heard how police of- ficers were carrying out inspections on pas- sengers on the flight. They noticed the wom- an acting suspiciously, and as soon as she noticed the presence of the police, she tried to escape but was immediately caught. X-ray tests were carried out and it was re- vealed that Da Silva had hidden drugs inside her body. She was taken to Mater Dei Hospi- tal, where it turned out that she had on her about a kilo of a substance suspected to be co- caine, with a street value of almost €130,000. Da Silva pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her, and her lawyer did not request bail. She was remanded in custody. The prosecution was led by Inspector Jon- athan Pace together with Lawyer Nadia Ciappara on behalf of the Attorney General.
