Agents of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) seized almost P29 million worth of cocaine inside the luggage of a Turkish national who arrived in the country on Tuesday, March 21. | ManilaBulletin

BOC Commissioner Bien Rubio said the seized illegal drugs were composed of liquid and powder cocaine and this resulted in the arrest of Kemal Ozenir after his arrival at the NAIA via Emirates flight EK 332 from Dubai.

“After the NAIA-IADTG received the information, immediately we were on the lookout for this person and his luggage. An initial test done on the luggage showed it was positive for the presence of cocaine. The information we received and the quick action we took to stop the contraband’s entry led to the capture of the suspect in this case,” said Enciso.

Aside from the arrest of Ozenir, authorities also have with them the confiscated pieces of evidence, such as one brown luggage containing assorted clothes and shoes, one Turkish passport, two boarding passes, one Turkish national ID card, one State of Qatar residency permit ID card, and one mobile phone.

Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence Group Juvymax Uy shared that the suspect is already being investigated by proper authorities.
