Seludup dadah melalui lapangan terbang, 2 pekerja Air Canada ditahan

Two employees of Canada's national airline, Air Canada, have been detained for allegedly smuggling drugs through Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Wednesday, Sputnik/RIA Novosti reported. The Eastern Ontario RCMP announced the arrest of the two Air Canada workers for smuggling cocaine and cannabis through Montreal-Trudeau Airport, the agency stated in a statement.

The investigation is being conducted at two residences and a vehicle in the Greater Montreal area, while Air Canada has granted police access to its Montreal-Dorval workplace, the statement added. Both suspects hold various operational roles at Air Canada and are charged with being part of a conspiracy to bring and move luggage through a restricted area of the airport to facilitate the import of cocaine and the export of cannabis.

The investigation into the two suspects began in May after the Canadian Border Services Agency seized a bag containing 62.5kg of cocaine during a flight from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Police announced that the investigation also resulted in the seizure of 56kg of cannabis. The RCMP informed that the two suspects will be questioned and released while awaiting further proceedings.
