Albanian national charged with drug smuggling
Charges have been brought against an Albanian national who attempted to smuggle cocaine worth 100 million forints (EUR 977,000) from Belgium to Albania via Hungary, the Csongrad-Csanád County prosecutor’s office told MTI on Thursday.
The man has been charged with trafficking of a substantial amount of drugs, Ferenc Szanka said.
According to the charges, in November last year, the man was promised 2,500 euros to smuggle 5 kilograms of cocaine from Belgium to Albania.
He arrived at the Hungarian-Serbian border crossing at Röszke on December 2, where border control officers discovered the drug secreted in his car.
