An unidentified man has been arrested by authorities in Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates after being caught in possession of raw diamonds which were concealed in his gut just as hard drugs are smuggled.
Confirming his arrest, the Federal Customs Authority (FCA) said it got wind of his intention days before he was arrested following a tip-off that an African intended to bring the raw diamonds into the country by smuggling them through Sharjah International Airport.
