800 grammes of cocaine were seized at the airport on Thursday evening by the Customs Enforcement Squad and the police.
The drug was on a passenger who held a German passport and who had arrived on a flight from Tunisia. The only luggage he was carrying was scanned and it appeared that there was something suspicious inside.
The passenger was asked to enter the search room together with customs officials where the contents of his luggage were examined, and white powder was found in two pairs of shoes, which was later confirmed to be cocaine. A search was also made on the passenger himself but nothing was found. He is now under investigation by the police
