The family of Isa Mabel Pujols announced that they would sue the National Drug Control Office (DNCD) and the UCE Medical Center after the woman was falsely accused of carrying 50 pellets of cocaine in her stomach. According to the Diario Libre, the DNCD apologized publicly to the young lady for the mistake. According to the press release, the DNCD said that "in no way was there any intention to harm her reputation." The statement made by Isa Mabel Pujols comes after she was stopped at the airport last Sunday, taken to the UCE Medical Center where x-rays were taken and revealed, in the opinion of the doctors that attended the case, that foreign objects in her stomach were bags of cocaine. From the UCE Medical Center, the woman was taken to the Armed Forces Hospital and there she was subjected to enemas throughout the night. When no cocaine was expelled, she was subjected to a vaginal search. The lawsuit will accuse the DNCD of defamation of character and libel, since the DNCD published her name and photograph with the accusation that she was a "mule" carrying drugs inside her body.
