"The seized cocaine is believed to be sourced from Sao Paolo, Brazil and was being carried in luggage. Since Rebeca could not speak English, we had to use the services of a Portuguese interpreter. Her statement was recorded in which she confessed to being part of a conspiracy in procuring, selling and purchasing, export and import of contraband," said an NCB official.
"She claims to have smuggled the contraband for the first time. Rebeca said she agreed for smuggling for monetary benefit. She also claimed that she had plans to stay in India for some time before going for an India tour," said the official.
