Instead of fake eyelashes: lawyer arrested at Ben Gurion Airport on suspicion of drug smuggling

A lawyer was arrested at Ben Gurion Airport on suspicion of drug smuggling: a shipment arriving from England via Turkey contained vials with a substance suspected to be GBL, disguised in packaging for removing artificial eyelashes. Detectives from Unit 747 arrested him in Tel Aviv, and at his home, ecstasy, heroin, and other drugs were seized. His detention was extended until August 16.

Customs investigators at Ben Gurion Airport located a package containing vials with a substance suspected to be GBL, disguised inside packaging for removing artificial eyelashes. The shipment, which arrived from England via Turkey, was sent to a customer in central Israel and aroused customs' suspicion. Yesterday, as part of a joint investigation, detectives from Unit 747 followed the delivery of the package in Tel Aviv and arrested the suspect, a lawyer by profession. During a search of his home, additional substances suspected to be drugs, including ecstasy, heroin, and GBL, were seized, along with other materials and foreign currency. Attorney Shtiker claimed that the drugs were intended for his personal use. All findings were transferred for examination at the police forensic laboratories, and the suspect was taken for questioning at Unit 747. Today, the court granted the police's request and extended his detention until August 16. The article reports the event factually, quoting the suspect's claim, and notes the continuation of legal proceedings.
