Kuwait's Largest 5-Ton Drug Bust
Kuwaiti narcotics authorities have seized the largest quantity of drugs in the country's history, including approximately 5 tons of raw "Lareeka" powder and around 4 million ready-for-sale capsules. Additionally, they uncovered a fully equipped factory for drug production and packaging, with an estimated market value of 150 million Kuwaiti dinars (about 486 million US dollars). The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Al-Youssef, confirmed that this operation reflects the efforts and effectiveness of security agencies in thwarting drug smuggling and trafficking. He also noted that the new law has contributed to deterring drug traffickers, especially after one suspect ceased activity following its enactment. The significance of this seizure is heightened by the fact that the quantity was classified as ready for distribution, emphasizing the authorities' commitment to tightening controls on the drug threat and strengthening awareness programs to protect society.
