A criminal court handed down two separate death sentences to two Lebanese nationals for drug use and trafficking in cannabis and psychoactive substances, and to an Indian national who attempted to smuggle psychoactive substances concealed in 100 A4 sheets soaked with the drugs, hidden in a carton of shoes. The shipment was intercepted after customs and anti-narcotics authorities cooperated to seize the consignment arriving from abroad and arrest the suspect.
In the details of the first case, anti-narcotics officers arrested two Lebanese nationals following intelligence and investigations confirming that they possessed quantities of narcotics and psychoactive substances with intent to traffic and consume. A search and seizure operation yielded two kilograms of marijuana, 400 grams of hashish, half a kilogram of “chemical” substances, 6,000 capsules of Lyrica, three sensitive scales, and a quantity of nylon bags used for packaging and preparation.
