Iranian Man Arrested for Methamphetamine Smuggling
Jakarta Globe, March 18, 2010
An Iranian man has been arrested by customs officers at Jakarta's Soekarno Hatta International Airport for allegedly trying to smuggle in a kilogram of methamphetamines worth around Rp 2.3 billion ($252,192).
According to authorities, the suspect was arrested at Terminal 2-D on Wednesday night after arriving in Jakarta on Emirates Airways from Dubai. The meth was hidden inside a folded chessboard. The head of the airport's customs office, Bahaduri Wijayanta, told poskota.com an X-Ray inspection showed suspicious objects inside the board.
Last year, nine Iranians were arrested at Soekarno-Hatta for bringing methamphetamine ingredients inside their luggage. They arrived separately over a three-day period and claimed they did not know each other.
