A 26-year-old man was arrested by authorities at the Amygdaleza Pre-Departure Detention Center for Foreign Nationals while attempting to smuggle narcotics during a visiting hour. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, 25 June 2026.
During a routine security check prior to the visit, officers discovered 64 carefully concealed nylon packages stitched into the seam of the suspect’s trousers. The packages contained a total of 12.8 grams of processed cannabis in chocolate form.
Authorities seized the drugs and filed charges against the suspect for violating Greece’s narcotics legislation. He was subsequently brought before the competent Public Prosecutor.
