He Emptied Whiskey Bottles and Cocaine in the Airport Bathroom, But the Residue Betrayed Him!

The Lebanese Customs Administration issued the following statement:

"In the framework of coordination between security agencies, General Security notified Customs of its suspicion regarding one of the travelers arriving from Brazil via Addis Ababa, after his travel itinerary was identified through his passport.

Immediately thereafter, Customs officers tracked down the traveler and found him inside the restroom, where he had hidden from view and was emptying the contents of eight whiskey bottles in his possession. By the time they reached him, he had emptied most of their contents, but the small quantities and remaining residue revealed what he tried to get rid of.

Although initial tests did not show the presence of narcotics, Customs officers continued their investigation, collected the remaining residue, and re-examined it after drying it out; the result came back positive, revealing the presence of cocaine.

The traveler has been detained under the supervision of the competent judiciary."
