Police in Malta arrested a 45-year-old man at Malta International Airport after suspected drug-filled capsules were found inside his stomach. The seizure involves around 150 capsules containing approximately 1.5 kilograms of suspected cannabis resin, police said. Officers estimated the street value at about 30,000 euros. Police received intelligence that the man, travelling from Morocco to Malta via Spain, could be linked to an organised drug trafficking network. When they learned he was due to arrive on a flight from Madrid, officers carried out inspections on passengers arriving from that route. The man was arrested and taken to Mater Dei Hospital, where medical scans revealed the suspected capsules in his stomach. Magistrate Philip Galea Farrugia was informed and launched an inquiry, appointing experts to assist with the investigation. The suspect is being held at the police lock-up as investigations continue. He is expected to be arraigned in court around noon on Tuesday before Magistrate Abigail Critien.
