Libyan Customs officials, in collaboration with the Libyan National Army (LNA), intercepted a shipment of 210,000 prohibited pills at the Benghazi seaport, originating from the Netherlands. The operation resulted in the arrest of two individuals and the destruction of the confiscated substances under the supervision of the public prosecutor.

Additionally, a previous operation at the same location led to the seizure of approximately 18 million Captagon tablets, a regulated drug, hidden within containers declared to contain fresh apples from Syria. The containers were associated with a company known as “Dar Al-Salam.” The tablets were discovered through a detailed inspection by the Benghazi seaport customs inspection department and the anti-smuggling and narcotics department, with LNA support and public prosecution oversight.

In another major operation, the Libyan Anti-Narcotics Agency, with assistance from the LNA, captured a significant cocaine shipment at the Benghazi seaport. Originating from Ecuador and falsely declared to contain bananas, the shipment was found to contain about 128 kg of cocaine, potentially yielding up to 640 kg upon processing. This seizure is recorded as the largest cocaine bust in the nation’s history. The discovery utilized sniffer dogs and X-ray scanning technology, identifying the drugs concealed within the container’s flooring.

Further, over 8 million Pregabalin pills were seized in a separate instance, concealed in a container shipped from India, highlighting the continuous efforts by Libyan authorities to combat drug smuggling.

These incidents reflect the ongoing commitment of Libyan law enforcement to address the challenges of illicit drug trafficking.
