A Bahraini man has appeared before the High Criminal Court facing smuggling drugs into the Kingdom of Bahrain charges after he received a package from a European country that contained drugs. According to court files, the anti-drug department at the Ministry of Interior received a tip-off from the customs officials after it turned out that the package includes drugs following an X-ray examination.
This was confirmed after it was opened. The receiver of the package, the defendant, was called and informed of the arrival of the shipment to be arrested red-handed. In his thirties, the suspect was busted as soon as he took the shipment and opened it.
However, he revealed that he had a shop selling car spare parts, and he was expecting some products which he had ordered online. He was charged with bringing drugs to Bahrain with the intention to sell. His next court hearing is set for today to hear the prosecution witnesses.
