For the safety of their family, Nini Johana Rodriguez Anzola and her husband said they had no choice but to ingest the cocaine-filled pouches, swallowing them along with some oat oil.
The Colombian couple were intercepted at the Bogota airport before they boarded the flight to Spain. They later pled guilty to drug-related charges because they said they felt pressured to remain silent in court about the involvement of the feared trafficking and guerrilla group known as the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC.
The tribunal says they don’t have to believe nothing they don’t wanna believe.
