French visitor caught at Kuwait airport with 1,603 drug-soaked sheets

## Major Drug Bust at Kuwait Airport

A French national arriving from London was detained at Kuwait International Airport after customs officials discovered 1,603 sheets of A4 paper soaked in a narcotic substance. The seizure, which took place at Terminal 4, involved a total of 13.154 kilograms of the drug, known locally as "chemical."

## Unusual Smuggling Method

The suspect attempted to smuggle the drugs by soaking ordinary paper sheets, a method that deviates from traditional drug concealment techniques. This operation was overseen by the Deputy Head of the General Administration of Customs for Customs Ports, Research and Investigation Affairs.

## Legal Proceedings

Following the arrest, authorities completed the necessary seizure report and initiated legal procedures. The suspect, along with the confiscated materials, has been handed over to the General Administration for Combating Drugs and Alcohol for further investigation.
