said the illegal drugs were seized from suspect Kemal Ozenir, who was arrested upon his arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport via Emirates flight EK 332. Rubio said the cocaine confiscated from the suspect was worth P28.8 million.
The suspect’s luggage was inspected after the Naia-Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group was tipped off by the Homeland Security of possible drug smuggling into the country. The illegal drugs were found concealed inside several pieces of soap labeled Giorno Bagno. The cocaine in powder form weighed more or less 3,945 grams while the white liquid substance weighed more or less 1,500 ml. —Tina G.
