Each of the three women carried two bowl-shaped pieces of gold hidden in pockets attached to their bras, the police said. The smuggling attempt was uncovered when the women arrived at Hakodate Airport in Hokkaido from Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport in November and they were arrested on Feb 28.
Each piece of gold was 11 centimeters in diameter and weighed around 1.
