The 32-year-old suspect, who had
abandoned a luggage at a reception area of a hotel located in the
international transit station of the airport, was arrested at the
boarding area, the DGSN pointed out in a statement.
After searching the luggage, the police discovered 53 capsules containing 1.2 kg of cocaine, the same source added.
The airport scanner also detected extra
capsules hidden in the suspect’s stomach, which required his transfer to
the Ibn Rochd hospital in Casablanca, the statement noted.
The accused, coming from Sao-Paulo
(Brazil) and heading for Freetown (Sierra Leone), was remanded in
custody under medical supervision to remove the pills, before conducting
a judiciary investigation under the supervision of the competent public
prosecutor.
