In an unexpected operation, customs inspectors at Berlin Airport succeeded in discovering 16 kilograms of ketamine in a passenger's suitcase. The 22-year-old man, who intended to travel to Zurich and then to Hong Kong in early June, was arrested at the last moment after passing through the boarding control.
Details of the Discovery and Arrest
Customs officials found eight vacuum-sealed bags among his clothes containing a white, crystalline substance. Tests revealed that this substance was indeed ketamine, which is used as an anesthetic in medicine but is known in the black market as a popular recreational drug. Ketamine has gained attention in various circles due to its anesthetic effects and the hallucinatory states it can induce at high doses.
The arrest of this man took place as he fell to the ground due to the likelihood of attempting to escape and was handcuffed. Customs officials carried out this arrest due to the risk of his escape and connections to organized crime, and in addition to the narcotic substance, his mobile phone was also seized as evidence.
