ISF foils attempts to smuggle captagon to Gulf via Kinshasa
The Internal Security Forces on Tuesday announced thwarting an attempt to smuggle around 450,000 captagon pills from Beirut’s port to Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The ISF added that the narcotic pills were supposed to be smuggled later to an Arab Gulf country.
According to an ISF statement, the shipment was seized at a depot in the ‘Cocody’ area in Bourj al-Barajneh. The pills were hidden in three electric engines, the statement said.
“Efforts are underway to arrest the members of the smuggling network and all their associates,” the statement added.
