Upon searching the suitcase, authorities found a bag containing 16kg of heroin inside. A team was immediately launched to identify and find the passenger who left the case behind.
A review of CCTV footage enabled police to identify and track down the passenger in question, who was then arrested. The police also searched his handbag, in which they found 32 narcotic tablets.
During interrogation, the accused confessed that the tablets belonged to him; however, he insisted that the suitcase seized at the airport belonged to another person.
He told the police that he was given the suitcase by someone in his country to deliver to another man in a European country in return for paying all his debts.
