Men Arrested for Smuggling Gold Bars Out of South Korea in Their Rectums
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korean customs officials say they have arrested eight men over a scheme to allegedly smuggle gold out of the country by hiding it in their rectums.
The Korea Customs Service said Monday the men allegedly transformed $260,000 in gold bars into small beads and smuggled them in their rectums to Japan two times in 2010 to avoid import taxes.
South Korea says Japanese custom officials caught the men on their second attempt and sent them home after imposing fines. Later, one of the suspects allegedly orchestrated an unsuccessful bid to smuggle gold bars from Mongolia to Hong Kong using a similar method.
Gold bead butt-smuggling? Sure, we’ve all been there before. Amiright? Is this thing on? *Tap tap tap*
But gold bars? Damn, Gina! That had to hurt.
