Saudi authorities find Captagon pills hidden in onions
The distribution and sale of captagon, a type of amphetamine, is a major business in the Middle East and especially lucrative in Syria, where it reportedly rivals the country’s GDP.
Saudi authorities busted two shipments of Captagon pills today.
The Saudi Customs Authority in Jeddah found more than three million pills in a shipment of onions and more than five million pills hidden in barrels. Three people were arrested for allegedly smuggling the pills into Saudi Arabia, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
