Personally I think they're guilty or they've been framed, but their story now rules out the second possibility.
To actually smuggle from somewhere like Peru is literally playing Russian Roulette. It's normally drugs or jewellery with the punishment for the former much higher. For those that do it and don't get caught the prize is high, but I'd say the chances of getting caught are even higher, especially when you consider that they could face 25 years in jail.
I didn't read your link, so it might have added something that I didn't know.
