The National Police of Spain intercepted a Dutch Man carrying two large suitcases with 163,000 Ecstasy Pills at the Ibiza Airport. Per the Ibiza Newspaper, the man had smuggled his suitcases from the Netherlands. Spanish authorities then arrested the individual as he landed in Ibiza, lacking measures to conceal that cargo.
The Investigation On The Ecstasy Contraband
The Airport Police, working alongside the Drugs and Organized Crime Unit (UDYCO Police), seized the man as he had flown in from the Netherlands with two large suitcases. Investigators had raised suspicions as the individual, traveling alone, kept 50kg worth of Ecstasy pills in the only luggage he carried with him. As the club season returns to Ibiza, police enforcement is on high alert, which led to the interrogation and detention of the 22-year-old.
Although the investigation is still ongoing, we know that he was carrying 163,000 pink Ecstasy pills. The cargo had three different designs, including a ā2CBā inscription. Furthermore, UDYCO reported that the detainee was sent to court on Saturday. Further investigation and report are pending.
The police estimated the value of the contraband between ā¬1.3 million and ā¬3 million, according to RTL News. Moreover, the sentence for this level of trafficking and fake labeling of the Ecstasy pills ranges from 3-9 years.
