Lebanon Stops Kuwait From Smuggling 150,000 Captagon Pills

An attempt to transport 150,000 Captagon tablets (weighing 27 kg) to Kuwait hidden within chocolate bars was stopped by Lebanese officials. "A new effort to smuggle disguised Captagon tablets, hidden inside a postal parcel containing bits of chocolate, to the sisterly State of Kuwait has been prevented," said Judge Bassam Mawlawi, Minister of Interior and Municipalities.

"The Ministry of Interior and Municipalities, as well as the General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces, are on the alert for any attempt to export evil and damage to our brothers in Arab Gulf states," Al-Rai has discovered.

"In the context of tackling drug smuggling operations carried out by the Central Narcotics Control Office in the Judicial Police Unit, information was received that a group of people planned to smuggle a large number of narcotic pills (Captagon) to an Arab country camouflaged as chocolate bars," the Internal Security Forces' Public Relations Division said.

According to the sources, the location of the item was established by a postal firm after extensive investigations, and it was confiscated. An investigation is ongoing to locate and apprehend more gang members.
