Greek authorities have arrested a 38-year-old British man, suspected of belonging to an international drug smuggling ring after finding him with a large quantity of heroin hidden in his suitcase.
Police told media on Friday the man was arrested at Athens “Eleftherios Venizelos” International Airport on Wednesday after a search of his suitcase allegedly revealed 11 kilograms of heroin hidden in a false bottom.
The man, who has not yet been identified in line with Greek laws on identifying suspects, had arrived in Athens from Pakistan, flying via Doha, Qatar.
Authorities said they believed the man was a member of a wider network that was smuggling drugs from Asia to Greece.
