Preliminary probe indicates company's services chartered for flight from Lao to the Philippines - Hussein.
The New Straits Times reports that 521kg of crystal methamphetamine was seized from a private jet in Laos, with the cargo initially being declared as vape products to conceal the illicit shipment. The aircraft, operated by a Malaysian company, was intercepted at Luang Prabang International Airport on October 1, preventing the drugs from reaching Manila.
According to Bukit Aman's Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director, the jet initially departed Subang Airport without cargo, only to have the drugs loaded onto it in Laos before the flight continued to the Philippines.
