  "account": "A Malaysian national was arrested in Mauritius for allegedly smuggling 17.88kg of cannabis worth approximately RM2.18 million, according to Mauritius Defi Media. The suspect was detained upon arrival via a Dubai flight on Friday, as reported by the portal. Authorities also seized the suspect's mobile phone and 8,150 Mauritius rupees (around RM700) along with Malaysian and Thai currency. The news outlet further reported that the police attempted to apprehend a person who should have received the drugs using stolen property in one operation but failed when no one came forward to claim them. This is the second such arrest involving a Malaysian national in Mauritius. On September 15, a 76-year-old Malaysian man was detained at the airport shortly after arriving from Kuala Lumpur. He was found in possession of 6.18kg of cannabis worth 9.27 million Mauritius rupees (RM793,000).",
