Drug Bust at Prague Airport: Polish Man Detained with 4.5 Kg of Cocaine

Czech authorities detained a Polish man carrying 4.5 kilograms of cocaine at Václav Havel Airport in Prague.

The narcotics, concealed in four bricks, were discovered during a routine inspection of his luggage.

The 44-year-old suspect made no attempt to disguise the drugs. The bricks were found openly packed among his personal belongings in a transport bag.

Customs officials intercepted the illegal cargo after scanning his luggage and conducting a manual search.

The passenger had traveled a well-known drug route: Medellín – Bogotá – Frankfurt – Prague.

His arrival and subsequent capture occurred late last week. Investigators are now working to determine whether the cocaine was destined for distribution on the Czech market.

The man has been handed over to the Czech police. Under Czech law, smuggling large quantities of drugs carries a penalty of 10 to 18 years in prison.
