A 48-year-old Albanian man has been sentenced to 36 months in prison after he was arrested trying to take out of the airport a suitcase containing 20 kilograms of cocaine.
From the trial of the case, it was learned that the Albanian had been unemployed for two years and had more than 40 thousand euros in debt. He hoped to pay off some of it with the shipping money he would receive.
The Albanian was arrested at Brussels airport on June 15. When he wanted to leave the baggage hall, he was stopped by customs because he had arrived at the airport on a flight from Frankfurt but had a suitcase with him that came from Cancun, Mexico.
The Albanian immediately admitted that he had been asked to take the suitcase with him from the airport, but the suitcase turned out to have nothing suspicious.
Customs officers then searched the baggage carousel for the flight from Cancun and found another suitcase that looked exactly like the first. It turned out that 20 kilograms of cocaine were hidden in it.
The prosecution asked for the punishment of the Albanian with 36 months in prison, a request that was approved by the Court.
According to the Albanian's lawyer, the drug entered the country without his help, he only tried to get it out of the airport, in any case he cannot be prosecuted as a member of a criminal association or organization, he only had contact with him as a kind of order.
Another person had promised him 8,000 euros, and my client hoped to pay off part of his debts after two years of unemployment.
