Customs in Munich made a substantial drug discovery. The sender from Dubai and the recipient in the USA are now being investigated.
Munich – Customs officers confiscated around 1.2 tons of the drug khat at Munich Airport. The leaves and twig tips with intoxicating effects are forbidden in Germany.
The goods were packed in a freight shipment on Thursday, registered as "table decorations", as the main customs office in Munich announced on Tuesday.
"This is the largest amount of khat seized since Munich Airport was founded," said spokesman Thomas Meister. The broadcast came from Dubai and was destined for the United States. The sender and receiver are now being determined. dpa
