A Ukrainian man surnamed Bohdan, 21, was arrested at the Juan Santamarķa International Airport, in Alajuela Province, on suspicion of international drug trafficking.
According
to the Ministry of Public Security,
Bohdan entered the country from
Madrid, Spain. In a routine
inspection, authorities discovered
unusual content inside his
suitcases. Following the guidelines
for suspected traffic of illegal
substances, police proceeded to
carry out a more detailed inspection
of his luggage.
Drug Control Police officers detected more than eight methamphetamine packages weighing approximately one kilogram each.
The tourist had no previous criminal record in the country. He was arrested and taken before the Alajuela Prosecutor's Office where he is waiting for a judge to order pre-trial measures against him for the accusation of drug trafficking.
Police seized the drugs, his luggage and the cash he was carrying as evidence in the case.
