A SECOND Brazilian national was recently arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport while carrying cocaine valued at US$32 million, a day after another national from the South American country appeared in court for possessing the same dangerous drug worth US$1, 9 million.
Guilherme Sodre Alverez DA Silveria (32) yesterday appeared
before Harare magistrate Isheunesu Matova charged with possession of cocaine.
Silveria, who was represented by Knowledge Mayeresera, was
remanded in custody to April 21 and advised him to apply for bail at the High
Court.
It is the State’s case that on April 5 this year,
detectives acting on a tip-off arrested Silveria after he flew into the country
aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight in possession of the contraband.
The recovered cocaine weighed 4,3kg. Another Brazilian
Karoline Silva Mafra (23) is facing similar charges after having been nabbed on
arrival at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on April 1. Newsday
