A 55 year old man was detained at Faro airport yesterday, on suspicion of drug trafficking as he prepared to travel to the United Kingdom with 10 kilos of hashish.
The man, who was travelling alone, “disguised several packs of hashish distributed over different parts of his body," said the police statement.
The man, with a police and judicial record for violent crimes and drug trafficking, also had money with him, in UK bank notes.
