As a result of comprehensive operational-search and customs control measures carried out by employees of the Nakhchivan Main Customs Department, the transit transportation of an especially large quantity of a psychotropic substance through Azerbaijani territory has been prevented, the department told APA
A vehicle transporting a shipment of "fruit juice and energy drinks" from the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Federal Republic of Germany in transit through Azerbaijan was subjected to customs inspection at the Shah Takhti customs post.
During an inspection using a stationary X-ray scanner, suspicious images were detected in the cargo. It was also determined that some boxes had been marked by burning to distinguish their appearance from the others.
During a further inspection involving a customs detection dog, 84 transparent plastic bottles containing a red liquid with a strong odor were discovered in 11 boxes.
An examination conducted by the Forensic Examination Center of the Ministry of Justice of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic revealed that the substance in the bottles, concealed from customs control using special methods, was an especially large quantity of the psychotropic substance methamphetamine, with a net weight of 29 kilograms and 485.111 grams in liquid form.
An investigation into the incident is underway.
