\u201cThe passenger, of Mozambican nationality, was trying to board to Maputo, Mozambique, in a flight with connection in Lisbon (Portugal), when he was surprised by the Federal Police,\u201d the Brazilian authorities detailed in a statement.<\/p>\n

The detainee, along with the seized drug, was taken to the Superintendence of the Federal Police in Rio de Janeiro to formalize the arrest report and will go from there into the prison system, according to the corporation.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican citizen will now be at the disposal of the Brazilian Federal Court and will be liable for the crime of international drug trafficking, for which the penalty can be up to 15 years in prison.<\/p>\n

*Seven-day candles burn for a week and are lit to accompany week-long prayers on a particular matter.<\/b>.<\/p>\n
