Kuwait halts major drug smuggling attempt including Jordanian
The First Deputy Prime Minister and Kuwaiti Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousuf Saud Al Sabah, announced the thwarting of the largest drug seizure in Kuwait's history. The seizure included approximately five tons of raw "Lyrica" powder and nearly four million pre-filled capsules ready for sale, with an estimated market value of around 150 million Kuwaiti dinars (approximately 485 million US dollars). Five suspects were arrested, including three Kuwaiti nationals and two individuals of Jordanian and Egyptian nationality. They operated a factory dedicated to producing and packaging these drugs, utilizing large industrial equipment to manufacture and wrap the capsules in a way that falsely appeared to be legitimate pharmaceutical products. Investigations confirmed that the storage sites and the factory highlighted the magnitude of the danger thwarted thanks to the efforts of the drug enforcement officers, which resulted in the seizure of the illicit goods and the dismantling of the criminal network.
