Abstract
Internal concealment and transportation of illegal substances by means of body packing is a major business with very high profits, attracting criminals all over the world. Body packing is a well-known method of international drug trafficking, and Europe represents the fastest growing market for cocaine and heroin transported through this method [1, 2]. As a result of their strategic position in Europe, countries such as Italy and Switzerland represent some of the main drug gateways to Europe and are important crossroads for international drug trafficking (especially via body packing).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
