Customs agents at the Rafik Hariri International Airport on Tuesday foiled an attempt to smuggle a quantity of drugs into the country.
“A 25-year-old Brazilian man identified as K. B. tried to smuggle 6.1 kilograms of cocaine that were hidden among his clothes in two suitcases,” state-run National News Agency said.
Security authorities at the airport are conducting the necessary investigations and the man is being interrogated under the supervision of the general prosecution, it added.
The detainee will be later referred to the Central Anti-Drug Bureau in Beirut, the agency noted.
