Luckily otherwise it would have ened up in Kaldemulla Rathmalana, the free trade zone for narcotics, where the area is declared as no search area by public officials.

Please will the police raid Kaldemulla. Getting board of seeing it mentioned so often

Even STF is afraid of raiding Kaldemulla because the underworld now poses Israeli made Uzis and our good old cops only have Chinese T-56 crap.

Well done Narcos!!! but at the same time your stupidity level is . You guys should have left this brazilian go out of the airport, and slowly followed him. So when he goes and meets the main person, you could have caught all of them together. it would have been even better if you could wait till the moment this brazilian went to that specific doctor, who was supposed to remove these pills from his body! then you could have caught the whole bunch!!!!!!

There is no.point in beating about the Bush. Bring death penalty for drug dealers and hang the bastards.
