Lambert Kuruvoli arrested 2.3 kg of metamzyna for alleged import

33-year-old Lambert Kuruvoli was arrested by the Court of Magistrates Nadi for alleged import and unlawful possession of about 2.3 kilograms of methamphetamine.

It is claimed that on January 31 Kuruvoli was found in the possession of methamphetamine after arriving from an international flight.

The police say that officers from Fiji Revenue and Customs Service arranged K9 and a search was carried out on it.

Fiji Revenue and Customs Service claims that Kuruvoli, who came to the international flight, was found with a white substance hidden in various ways in his luggage, which obtained a positive test of willmfetamine during a preliminary examination.

They say that he was chosen for a full customs exam based on selectivity based on customs risk, and during the exam customs officers discovered food products and a backpack with false walls, both containing substances suspected of being methamphetamine.

The case is postponed to 10 this month.
