Peruvian mother arrested, conceals 54 condoms with illegal substance in vaginal cavity

Updated: Dec 18, 2023



A Peruvian mother and son were arrested in Macau.  The two admitted taking drugs in Peru and then traveled to Macau to await further instructions.  After investigation, authorities found a total of 54 condoms containing prohibited substances and an oval-shaped drug capsule in the mother's vaginal cavity. 

Tests confirmed that the items in question were cocaine, weighing 1,945.85 grams and valued at approximately MOP 5.38 million.  Local law enforcement authorities suspect that Macau is not the final destination of the drugs, but a transit point used by drug cartels to transfer drugs to other places.  Authorities continue to investigate the final destination of the drugs and the whereabouts of others involved.



The detained mother, Apontecornejo, 53, described herself as a businesswoman, while her son Floresaponte, 22, described himself as a motorcycle mechanic.  Authorities became suspicious of the Peruvian duo after analyzing their travel patterns.  On Monday, December 11, they arrived in Macau by flight from Manila.  Airport staff immediately intercepted them and conducted X-ray examinations on them, and found that they had foreign objects in their bodies, which were suspected of being drugs.  The two were subsequently taken to Hilltop Hospital for examination and the concealed items were expelled.


During the interrogation, the mother admitted that on Friday, December 8, she had swallowed three condoms containing drugs as instructed by her contact person.  In addition, there was a larger oval-shaped drug capsule hidden in her vaginal cavity.  The son swallowed 51 medicated condoms.  The next day they flew from Peru to Spain, then to Hong Kong and finally to Macau, where they were arrested.  Both men admitted that the hidden items were indeed drugs, but claimed not to know the next steps directed by their contact.  The mother stated that she committed the crime to repay a debt of 20,000 Peruvian soles (approximately HK$41,200) and collect US$1,500 (approximately HK$11,700) as travel expenses for herself and her son.  The son admitted assisting his mother in repaying her debt.



秘鲁母亲被捕,阴道内藏有54个含有非法物质的避孕套


一对秘鲁母子在澳门被捕。 两人承认在秘鲁吸食毒品,然后前往澳门等待进一步指示。 经调查,当局在母亲的阴道腔内发现了共54个含有违禁物质的避孕套和一个鹅蛋形药物胶囊。


化验证实,该批物品为可卡因,重1,945.85克,估价约538万澳门元。 当地执法部门怀疑,澳门并不是毒品的最终目的地,而是贩毒集团用来将毒品转移到其他地方的中转站。 当局将继续调查毒品的最终目的地以及其他涉案人员的下落。


被拘留的母亲阿蓬特科内霍 (Apontecornejo),53 岁,自称是一名女商人,而她的儿子弗洛雷萨蓬特 (Floresaponte),22 岁,自称是一名摩托车修理工。 当局在分析了这对秘鲁二人的旅行模式后对他们产生了怀疑。 12月11日星期一,他们从马尼拉乘飞机抵达澳门。 机场工作人员立即拦截,并对他们进行X光检查,发现他们体内有异物,疑似毒品。 随后,两人被送往山顶医院接受检查,并驱逐了藏匿的物品。


在审讯中,母亲承认,在上周五,即12月8日,她按照联系人的指示吞下了三个含有毒品的避孕套。 另外,她的阴道腔里还藏着一个更大的鹅蛋形药物胶囊。 而儿子则吞下了51个装有药物的避孕套。 第二天,他们从秘鲁飞往西班牙,然后飞往香港,最后到达澳门,并在那里被捕。 两人都承认隐藏的物品确实是毒品,但声称不知道他们的联系人指示的后续步骤。 母亲表示,她犯罪是为了偿还2万秘鲁索尔(约41200港元)的债务,并收取1500美元(约11700港元)作为自己和儿子的路费。 儿子承认协助母亲偿还债务。
