A 76-year-old British man has been arrested for allegedly smuggling approximately 1.3 kilograms of methamphetamine into Fukuoka Airport last month. Customs officials became suspicious due to the man’s minimal luggage and found the drugs hidden in a double-layered bag. The meth is estimated to be worth ¥73.5 million. The man denies the charges, claiming he received the bag from an acquaintance in South Africa and was unaware of its contents. Source: KBC
