Seludup dadah melalui lapangan terbang, 2 pekerja Air Canada ditahan

Two employees of Canadian national airline Air Canada were arrested for smuggling drugs through Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Wednesday, as reported by Sputnik/RIA Novosti. The Eastern Division RCMP announced the arrest of two Air Canada employees for trafficking cocaine and marijuana through Montreal-Trudeau Airport, the agency said 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 headquarters. Both suspects hold various operational roles at Air Canada. They are charged with being part of a conspiracy to bring and move cargo through restricted airport areas to facilitate the import of cocaine and the export of marijuana.

The investigation into the two suspects began last May after the Royal Canadian Customs Service seized a parcel containing 62.5kg of cocaine during a flight from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Police announced the seizure also resulted in the confiscation of 56kg of marijuana. The RCMP stated that the two suspects will be questioned and released pending further legal proceedings.
