NILAI: The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) scored a major success when it seized 88 kilogrammes (kg) of cocaine estimated to be worth RM17.6 million in a raid at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Air Cargo Complex, Sepang, Selangor on Aug 1.
Customs Director-General Datuk Zazuli Johan said in the 8pm raid, a team from the Narcotics Branch of the JKDM Headquarters seized four boxes containing 995 glass bottles containing capsules suspected to contain cocaine.
"This is the first time that a syndicate used such a modus operandi. The syndicate also used a fake company name as the receiving company in the Air Waybill," he said at a press conference here on Monday . Zazuli said the investigation also found that the importer used false information in the importation documents, thus making it difficult to arrest the importer.
The investigation is being conducted for an offence under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952
