DENPASAR, Bali — A Brazilian woman arrested at Bali’s international airport with 3.6 kilograms of liquid cocaine told investigators she had been promised US$50,000 to complete the delivery, according to Bali Police.

The woman, identified by the initials TCDS, 36, allegedly told investigators she had been instructed by a person identified only as “G” to carry the cocaine from Brazil to Bali. Police said the drugs were then supposed to be handed over to another person in Bali acting on G’s instructions.

Bali Police spokesperson AKBP Rina Isriana Dewi said TCDS is being treated as a courier in the case. Investigators are now examining the wider network behind the shipment, including who arranged the delivery and who was expected to receive the cocaine in Bali.

Police said the promised US$50,000 payment was not the only expense allegedly covered for the trip. TCDS told investigators that her travel and accommodation had also been financed, including a flight from Brazil to Bali on October 5 and a return ticket scheduled for November 3.

She never made the return journey.

TCDS was arrested on October 6 after arriving at the international terminal of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. The operation was carried out jointly by Bali Police’s narcotics division and Ngurah Rai Customs.

Officers allegedly found 3,659.9 grams of liquid cocaine concealed inside seven bottles made to resemble shampoo and other personal-care products packed in her luggage.

Police described the seizure as one of Bali’s largest liquid cocaine cases in recent years.

TCDS has since been named a suspect and is being held at Bali Police headquarters while investigators continue tracing the alleged network behind the shipment.

Authorities have not publicly identified G or the person who was allegedly expected to receive the drugs in Bali.

The investigation remains ongoing.
