A woman was detained at Rio de Janeiro airport after authorities discovered 40 ampoules of slimming medicine hidden in her checked luggage, which she had brought from Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, and she lacked the required import documentation.1
The seizure was carried out by the Polícia Rodoviária Federal, which has recently expanded its workforce by 300 agents to address robberies and thefts, highlighting the agency's broader effort to enforce customs and security regulations at Brazilian transport hubs.1
