The arrest took place on Sunday afternoon when the passenger landed in Palma on a flight from the Dominican Republic. The officers intercepted her at passenger control with the luggage she had checked in and x-rayed her suitcase.
Inside were 11 bundles containing one kilo of cocaine each. The woman, a Spaniard of Dominican origin, had written down the address of a hotel in Palma where she was supposed to deliver the substance and a telephone number which was called, but nobody answered.
The woman, according to sources in the investigation, had already been arrested by the Peruvian anti-drug police (Dirandro) in Lima, in 2009, in a hotel in Peru. The agents searched her room and found packages containing 11.8 kilos of cocaine in suitcases.
Police officers reached the woman after arresting a man at Lima's international airport who tried to travel to Madrid with 13.7 kilos of cocaine.

The outrageous thing here is that her suitcase was 1kg heavier than the Ryanair allowance!
There are no flights from the Dominican Republic to Palma.
