Luanda — The General Tax Administration (AGT), through the Customs Service, seized approximately 2.7 kilograms of cocaine at 4 de Fevereiro International Airport in Luanda.

The operation, carried out with the support of the Criminal Investigation Service (SIC) and the Customs Tax Police, resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old Angolan citizen, resident in Brazil, who was carrying the drug hidden on his body, according to a note from the AGT to which ANGOP had access this Saturday.

The document states that after the arrest, the passenger was referred to the authorities for the appropriate legal proceedings.
