Erbil Security Directorate Thwarts International Drug Trafficking Operation
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — In a significant breakthrough, the Erbil Security Directorate has successfully dismantled an international drug trafficking gang, foiling their attempts to smuggle crystal drugs from Iran into the Kurdistan Region. The operation was executed based on precise intelligence gathered on the suspects.
The arrested group, comprising four Iranian nationals, has been identified as (R, A, S), (F, A, M), (F, H, R), and (B, B, H). The traffickers' modus operandi involved the preparation of drugs in capsule form, which they ingested to conceal within their stomachs. In a sophisticated attempt to evade detection, some of the narcotics were also strategically hidden within their bodies.
The Erbil Security Directorate expressed gratitude to the vigilant citizens for their crucial cooperation, underscoring the vital role of community involvement in maintaining law and order. The success of this operation reflects the commitment of local authorities to safeguard the region from the scourge of international drug trafficking.
Authorities are conducting further investigations to unravel the full extent of the gang's operations and to ascertain potential links to larger criminal networks. The apprehension of these individuals marks a significant victory in the ongoing battle against transnational crime, highlighting the Kurdistan Region's dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents.
The arrested suspects will face charges related to drug trafficking, and the Kurdistan Region reaffirms its commitment to collaboration with international partners to combat the global menace of illicit drug trade.
