Six kilograms of Captagon were seized at Beirut airport, in the suitcases of two Syrians.
In a statement issued on Friday, the General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) announced that a unit of the airport control brigade “seized overnight around 6 kg of Captagon tablets, concealed in aluminum foil, as if they were chocolate balls, in two plastic boxes wrapped with gift wrap.”
“The narcotics were placed in two suitcases, belonging to two Syrian nationals, one which was to go in the baggage hold and the other in the cabin,” according to the text, which identifies the two Syrians by their initials only.
The latter were leaving for an Arab country that was not specified by the ISF.
An investigation has been launched to trace the traffickers.
