Inside the suitcase, some 1,336 hashish pellets were found, distributed in 14 vacuum-sealed packages with a total weight of 13.876 kilos. Guardia Civil
Spain’s Guardia Civil police force, as part of its ongoing actions to prevent drug trafficking at Malaga Airport, has arrested a man for a crime against public health, as he was apparently carrying more than 13 kilograms of hashish in his luggage.
The discovery was made on 7 April when, during the security checks carried out on hold luggage, a suitcase was detected which led officers to suspect that it might contain drugs, the Guardia Civil said in a statement
An operation was therefore put in place to detain the owner of the luggage, who was located when he was about to board a flight to Manchester in the UK.
Once the suitcase was opened, some 1,336 hashish pellets were found inside, distributed in 14 vacuum-sealed packages with a total weight of 13.876 kilograms. The owner of the luggage, a 40-year-old man of Latvian nationality, was arrested for a crime against public health.

AceBreakingNews – An investigation by the Metβs Counter Terrorism Command has led to the conviction of a woman who did not alert police about a potential terrorist plot of which she was aware.
Tasnia Ahmed, 21 (24.11.02), of east London (E14), was found guilty of two counts of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism to the police, contrary to section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000.
@acenewsservices
Counter Terrorism detectives first identified Ahmed had committed potential offences as they were investigating Al Arfat Hassan. Hassan was sentenced in February this year after being convicted of collecting information likely to be useful for terrorism (under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000), and possession of chemicals for terrorism purposes (under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000).
During the course of their investigation into Hassan, officers found thousands of messages between him and a woman, whom they came to identify as Ahmed. Within the messages dating from November 2021 β March 2022 officers found clear evidence that Hassan had revealed his desire and intention to carry out acts of terrorism and that the pair had discussed his extremist views and intentions.
But instead of alerting police about the potential terrorist threat – which is required under law -officers found messages where Ahmed appeared to encourage him further.
Detectives Chief Superintendent Gareth Rees, Head of Operations for the Metβs Counter Terrorism Command
β Ahmed had clear knowledge of Hassanβs extremist views and that he had indicated to her that he was planning to carry out some sort of attack. Anyone who has that kind of information must tell police, because, ultimately, it could potentially prevent a terrible attack from happening and help save lives. Ahmed chose not to do this, and she is now facing the very serious consequences of that decision.β
βWe would urge anyone who may find themselves in a similar position not to hesitate and to call police immediately with any concerns.β
Anyone with information about potential terrorist activity can report it, in confidence, by calling police onΒ 0800 789 321 or online viaΒ www.gov.uk/ACT
In an emergency, always dial 999.
Hassan was arrested by police in March 2022, but even at that point, when Ahmed became aware of his arrest, and after officers had carried out a search at her home address, she still failed to tell police what she knew about Hassanβs potential terrorist plans.
Ahmed was interviewed under caution by officers in June 2022 and the Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges against her in July 2022, when she was charged with the offences above. She was found guilty of the two offences on Thursday, 25 April, following a trial a Woolwich Crown Court and is due to be sentenced on 3 June.

AceBreakingNews – The AFP has arrested four alleged international drug couriers, including the suspected ringleader of the transnational drug mule syndicate, accused of attempting to smuggle cocaine into Australia on board a flight from the United States to Melbourne.
AFP officers arrested and charged a United States national, 55, at Melbourne Airport on Tuesday 16 April, 2024, who is accused of planning and supervising the transnational drug courier syndicate as they attempted to import cocaine concealed inside their luggage on board an international flight to Australia. Police will allege the man oversaw three United States nationals travelling on board a flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne on Friday 12 April, 2024, to carry around 30kg of cocaine inside their luggage.
The three women, aged 22, 24 and 35, were passengers on the flight and each allegedly concealed approximately 10kg of cocaine inside their luggage.
Australian Border Force (ABF) intercepted the alleged drug couriers following intelligence received from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) after a fourth woman, 41, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday 11 April, 2024.
It is alleged that the woman had attempted to board the same flight carrying 10kg of cocaine concealed inside clothing in their luggage.
The AFP subsequently arrested the three women upon their arrival into Melbourne International Airport. ABF officers examined six suitcases and found a number of packages containing a white powder substance in each suitcase. The substance was presumptively tested and indicated a positive result for cocaine. The 55-year-old US national arrived on board a separate flight into Melbourne from Los Angeles on Friday 12 April, 2024, before he was later located and arrested by police at Melbourne Airport yesterday.
One count of importing a commercial quantity of border controlled drug, namely cocaine, contrary to section 307.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth); and
One count of possessing a commercial quantity of cocaine, contrary to section 307.8 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth).
The male was charged with:
One count of importing a commercial quantity of border controlled drug, namely cocaine, contrary to section 307.1 of the Criminal Code Act1995 (Cth); and
One count of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of cocaine, contrary to section 307.8 and 11.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995(Cth).
The maximum penalty for these offences is life imprisonment. The man faced the Melbourne Magistrate Court on Wednesday 17 April, 2024, and the women on Saturday 13 April, 2024, where they were all remanded in custody. They are all scheduled to reappear in court on 5 August, 2024.
Drug couriers were driven by money and greed and would go to any lengths to import illicit substances into Australia. β A dangerous amount of cocaine was stopped as a result of intelligence sharing between Australian and international law enforcement agencies,β Det-Supt Butcher said.
This attempted importation of about 30 kg of cocaine had an estimated street value of nearly $10 million if it had reached our streets. This had the potential to facilitate 30,000 individual street deals and cause tens of millions of dollars in harm to the Australian community.
βThese arrests send a strong warning to drug couriers attempting to smuggle illicit drugs into Australia β no matter how you try and move your drugs, the AFP, together with our international, Commonwealth and state law enforcement partners will be waiting for you.β
HSI Attache Ernest Verina said:
Each arrest and each seizure saves lives and decreases the additional crime that surrounds these illegal and dangerous criminal smuggling operations.
βThe international effort that led to this interdiction of large quantities of cocaine is a great example of successful collaboration between multiple international law enforcement agencies determined to prevent illegal drugs from entering our communities,β Ernest Verina said.
Those attempting to import illicit substances into Australia should not underestimate the intuition, experience and commitment of ABF officers to disrupt this type of criminal activity. β The ABF works closely with its domestic and international law enforcement partners to prevent illicit drugs reaching Australian streetsβ Acting Superintendent Karatzas said. β The Australian border is one of our most critical national assets, and our dedicated ABF officers are relentless in their commitment to making it a hostile environment for criminal syndicates trying to import dangerous drugs and harming the Australian community.β

AceBreakingNews – Tarik Slimani, 47, from north London, and Driss Hasska, 54, from Italy, were observed by NCA officers as they met at a bus stop in Kent on the evening of 4 August 2023.
@acenewsservices
Ace Press News From Cutting Room Floor: Published:Apr.21: 2024: NCA News: TELEGRAM Ace Daily News Link https://t.me/YouMeUs2
It was there that they transferred a group of people from Slimaniβs hire van into the trailer of Hasskaβs lorry. NCA officers tailed Hasska to a service station near Maidstone where they searched the trailer of his lorry and discovered eight men and a woman inside. A short time later Slimani pulled into the services and both men were arrested and conveyed to police custody. It is suspected that the migrants, who were all of North African origin, were being taken to France in a bid to avoid border immigration controls.
John Turner, NCA Operations Manager, said:
In interview Slimani claimed he was driving to Ashford to collect a coffee table when he stopped at the bus stop alongside the lorry to go to the toilet. He said that by the time he returned to his van he couldnβt remember the exact location of where he was going, so began driving home before stopping at the services to go to the toilet again. In a prepared statement given to officers, Hasska claimed he had no knowledge of the migrants in his trailer. Both men appeared at Maidstone Crown Court today (18 April) for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to facilitating illegal entry into an EU country.
Slimani was sentenced to 22 months in prison, and Hasska to 32 months.
βTodayβs outcome is a clear warning to anyone involved in facilitating illegal migration β you will be caught and put behind bars. β A meticulous NCA investigation foiled this smuggling attempt, and our work to disrupt and dismantle the criminal networks involved in this activity is relentless. Tackling organised immigration crime is a priority for the NCA.β
