Libyan man has been arrested by the police after he was caught trying to import around 3 kilograms of heroin to Malta. The man was held at the Malta International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after he had landed aboard a flight from Tripoli.
During a search being carried out on a number of passengers, customs officials and police from the anti-drugs squad noticed the Libyan man acting in a suspicious manner. When his luggage was examined with the x-ray machine, a suspicious packet was noticed in a false bottom. Further analysis confirmed that the big packet contained around 3 kilograms of heroin. Duty Magistrate Dr Giovanni Grixti was informed about the case and appointed various experts to aid in the enquiry. The man, who is expected to be arraigned in Court in the coming days, is being held for questioning as further investigations are ongoing.
