LATIN AMERICAN COCAINE SMUGGLERS BUSTED IN YEREVAN: DRUGS WERE HEADED TO TURKEY
15:25, February 12, 2015
Armenia's National Security Service (NSS) says it has uncovered a Latin
American drug ring attempting to smuggle cocaine to Turkey via Armenia.
The NSS says that the drugs were hidden in cargo flights from Latin
America to Armenia and then picked up by Bulgarian and Lebanese agents
who would then send the drugs, via air and land, across the border
into Turkey.
The NSS claims it intercepted 2.7 kilos of cocaine on January 27 on
a cargo flight from San Paolo to Yerevan, via Abu Dhabi and 2.6 kilos
on February 9 on the same flight.
Today, the NSS says it intercepted a cache of 4.8 kilos of cocaine in
the possession of two Bulgarian citizens of Arab descent at Yerevan's
Zvartnots Airport. The two were passengers on a flight to Istanbul.
