A Rolex watch has been to space, on Mount Everest and in the ocean's greatest depths. Now, it has also “explored” the most intimate part of a female body.
Multiple reports from Spain this week, including from a TV channel, say a woman was arrested at Madrid Airport when she was trying to flee to Italy with three Rolexes inside her vagina. She was part of a larger gang from Naples which smuggles stolen watches from tourist spots.
Stories on luxury-watch thefts in Europe are not new. But it's rare to learn how they’re smuggled across borders using human “mules,” similar to drug trafficking.
The watches recovered were a Day-Date, a Sky-Dweller and a Daytona, all in precious metals, according to the Policía Nacional.
The joint operation between the Spanish National Police, the Civil Guard and the Italian police tracked the woman on social media, where they found several images of her she posted at the beach. In one of them, she wrote: “Delicate but powerful.”
