LONDON: Syrian authorities seized 25 million captagon pills bound for smuggling and arrested seven members of an international trafficking network in a large and sophisticated operation. On Wednesday, Syria’s Drug Enforcement Administration discovered drugs hidden inside a shipment of pottery containers before they were prepared for transport. Seven smugglers were arrested, including the gang’s leader, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency. Last week, anti-narcotics authorities thwarted an attempt to smuggle 142,000 captagon pills.
