This really seem weird, who could have imagined anyone could have such guts to smuggle a human being through an airport with all his machineries and get away with it.
A young boy was discovered by stunned customs officials hiding in a small item of luggage via the airport scanner.
X-ray images capture the moment the youngster was caught on camera tucked up in the trolley suitcase as he tried to get into Spain. The luggage belonged to a 19-year-old woman who police became suspicious of after noticing she was becoming nervous.
They pulled her to one side and, believing she may have been smuggling drugs, scanned her luggage only to find something much
more disheveling. An outline of a young boy was clearly seen and
officers immediately opened the bad and pulled out an eight-year-old
boy.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard said: “This could have had a tragic end.” The boy stuck his head out of the suitcase and said, in French, “hello, my name is Abou.”
Police are now investigating the circumstances of the strange
incident but have already arrested a man from Costa de Marfil on the
Ivory Coast who was found to be the boy’s father. He tried to get
through the same checkpoint about an hour and a half later, saying he
lived in the Canary Islands.It is believed the woman was acting as a carrier for a substantial fee.
