Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>A Brazilian national was charged for the importation of a controlled drug on Monday by the Seychelles Supreme Court.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old man, who was arrested on September 24, had hidden in his luggage 5kg of cocaine, the highest amount of the drug seized at the Seychelles International Airport.<\/p>\n

According to the police, the Brazilian arrived in Seychelles on an Emirates flight from Dubai and was intercepted by officers of customs, immigration and the police.<\/p>\n

“The accused will remain on remand under the detention of the police for another 14 days before going back to court,” said the police.<\/p>\n

Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, has a zero-tolerance drug policy and has stepped up measures to combat the trafficking of illicit drugs on its shores.<\/p>\n

Under the Seychelles’ Misuse of Drugs Act 2016, the maximum penalty for importing a controlled Class A drug is a term of life imprisonment and a fine of up to SCR 1 million ($74,500).<\/p>\n
