南非警方逮捕了一名25岁男子，该男子涉嫌试图利用消化道把220颗钻石通过约翰内斯堡的主机场走私出境。
South African police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of attempting to smuggle 220 diamonds out of the country in his digestive tract through Johannesburg’s main airport.
警方表示，该黎巴嫩男子走私价值225万美元的抛光钻石，打算飞往迪拜，但在非洲最大的机场的一个安检点被逮捕，并缴出隐藏起来的钻石货物。
The Lebanese national bound for Dubai had swallowed $2.25 million worth of polished diamonds before he was stopped before a security checkpoint at Africa’s biggest airport and then relieved of his concealed cargo, police said.
警方发言人保罗•拉马洛科说：“我们用泻药使这名男子排泄出那些钻石。”
“We used laxatives to remove the diamonds,” police spokesman Paul Ramaloko said.
南非警方今年3月逮捕另一名涉嫌走私钻石出境的黎巴嫩男子，截获市值169万美元的钻石。
In March, police arrested another Lebanese national who was attempting to smuggle $1.69 million worth of diamonds out of South Africa.
