Kuwait Foils Largest Drug Bust
Kuwaiti news has reported that the country's largest drug smuggling operation was thwarted. The operation involved the seizure of approximately 5 tons of raw "Lyrica" substance and over four million capsules ready for sale, with an estimated market value of up to 150 million Kuwaiti dinars (around 485 million dollars). Five suspects were arrested, including Kuwaiti nationals as well as individuals from Jordan and Egypt. The suspects were running a fully-equipped factory for producing and filling capsules, with equipment that underscores the scale of the threat that was halted by anti-drug efforts. The operation reveals the extent of the criminal network and how multiple sites were used to store raw materials and capsules, along with manufacturing and filling machines prepared for wide-scale drug distribution.
