Greek authorities have seized 11 kg of heroin hidden in the luggage of a British citizen at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens, police said on Friday.
Police said the 38-year-old man, who flew to Athens from the Pakistani city of Lahore via Doha, is part of a broader heroin ring trafficking drugs from Asian countries to Greece. He was arrested on Wednesday.
Authorities also confiscated 300 euros, 84,000 Pakistani rupees ($730) and two cellphones. – reuters
That heroin probably came via Pakistan from the CIA-run poppy fields in Afghanistan.
