US air passenger is caught smuggling 18lbs of 'very pure' cocaine

An American air passenger was caught smuggling 18 pounds of cocaine worth $1 million into inside the tires of his wheelchair.

The man - who was at Milan Malpensa airport in Lombardy, after disembarking a flight from Romana in Santo Domingo - was carrying 43 rolls of 'very pure' cocaine, when they were discovered by a drug-sniffing dog named Cosmo, according to La Repubblica.

The passenger was in the arrivals hall with a brace on his right leg, when a sniffer dog barked and alerted Financial Guard Police to him.
