A Dominican has been caught trying to smuggle liquid cocaine out of the country. Carlos Antonio Veloz, 38, was arrested by the National Drug Control Department in the Immigration area of the airport when trying to board Air Europa flight 088 to Madrid, Spain. DNCD spokesman Buenaventura Bueno Torres said that Veloz was detected by the narcotics agents because of his suspicious profile. He was arrested and his luggage removed for inspection. When they inspected the suitcase they found a container with 3 kilos 684 grams of liquid cocaine. Veloz claimed that he was serving as a “mule” for drug traffickers and was to have received his payment in Spain.
