Drug control officers have detained a lawyer who tried to sneak heroin, marijuana and hashish into a Moscow pretrial detention center in her underwear, Itar-Tass reported Wednesday.
Neither the lawyer nor the detention center were identified in the report.
The woman on Tuesday hid 3.5 grams of heroin, 3 grams of marijuana and 28 grams of hashish in bundles in her underwear using a "cunning method," Sergei Tsygankov, a Federal Drug Control Service spokesman told Itar-Tass, without elaborating.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
