A Bulgarian national has been arrested in Vienna with a possession of three kilograms of cocaine, Bulgarian private national broadcaster bTV said on Aril 19 2009, quoting Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
 
The estimated market price of the cocaine is about one million euro, bTV said.
 
The 29-year-old Bulgarian was arrested at a Vienna airport arriving on a flight from Sao Paolo via Zurich. The narcotic was hidden in her baggage.
 
She was supposed to transport the drug to Sofia where she was promised to get 3500 euro as a reward, bTV said.

Judging from my own experiences transiting through both Vienna and Budapest airports between London and Chisinau (Moldova), she is unlucky that her luggage got stopped. If she had gone via Budapest, it would assuredly have been lost or delayed, and she could have continued to Sofia quite happily.

What fool would pack that much coke in one bag? Had she broke it up better perhaps she would have gotten away with it, who knows. She could have just been the scape goat, maybe the girl behind her had 10 kilo's and this girl was set up. This is the price of getting more in, she was set up.
