Comoros customs officials seized nearly 33 kg of cannabis from two unclaimed parcels at the port of Moroni, arriving from Dar es Salaam on 10 November 2015. Two suspected recipients were placed in custody and the case was referred to the courts.
Customs officers opened the two parcels and found nearly 33 kg of cannabis
inside, after the parcels had gone unclaimed for several days following
unloading.[1]
The case goes back to 10 November 2015, when a boat from Dar es Salaam had
brought the cargo to the port of Moroni.[1]Youssouf Msoury, head of the port
surveillance and customs brigade, said suspicion arose when the parcels were not
claimed for days after unloading.[1]
Two people suspected of being the recipients of the two parcels were put in
custody, and the justice system now has to identify the real owner of the cargo.[1]
