The General Directorate for Drug Control received information about a dealer bringing in drugs to distribute it in the country, the ministry’s security media department said in a statement, noting that the sup- plier was immediately arrested after the information was confirmed. The accused confessed that he had a place containing a laboratory to prepare the ‘Spice’ drug, the statement said, adding that a large amount of drugs was seized. The accused also admitted that he was preparing orders of nar- cotics to sell to a European country. He added that he used names of cosmetics on these orders to disguise the drugs.
