Rampasan 521kg dadah di Laos, satu rakyat Malaysia antara 13 ditahan

Police in Laos have seized 521 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, smuggled inside a private jet during a bust that involved 13 individuals, including a Malaysian national, according to a report from Vientiane Times. The incident occurred last week when a group of people, including a pilot and co-pilot of a Learjet aircraft, were detained in Luang Prabang International Airport, Laos.

The initial investigation revealed that the plane departed from Subang, Selangor, and was en route to the international airport in Laos. However, it was clarified that the Malaysian suspects were not among the passengers on board. At present, authorities have not received detailed information from the Laos drug agency. The available information indicates that one of the 13 detained individuals is a Malaysian national.

Upon interrogation, the police clarified that the private flight used a pilot and co-pilot who were not Malaysian citizens. The possibility of a smuggling syndicate having connections with a previous arrest of a Malaysian pilot in Indonesia remains under investigation, as it is still too early to draw conclusions.
