Kuwait’s Interior Ministry announced on Sunday that it had dismantled an international drug trafficking network, seizing 60 kilograms of marijuana and hashish with an estimated market value of 750,000 Kuwaiti dinars ($2.45 million). The operation was led by the General Directorate for Drug Control’s International Control Division and involved the smuggling of drugs from a European country into Kuwait through Kuwait International Airport.
According to the ministry’s statement, the network consisted of five individuals, including two employees of Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs. These customs officers allegedly abused their positions to assist in the drug smuggling process. All five suspects have been handed over to the Drug Prosecution Office, where they will face further legal proceedings.
