Two Pakistanis along with six citizens have been arrested in what has turned out to be the biggest drug bust in Saudi Arabia’s history.
According to the official statement by the Saudi General Directorate of Narcotics Control (GDNC), six Syrian and two Pakistani citizens were arrested in a raid on a warehouse.
As a result, 46 million amphetamine pills hidden in flour bags were recovered, having a market value between $470 million and $1 billion. The shipment of flour bags had initially arrived at the Riyadh Dry Port and was recovered after it was transferred to a warehouse.
