A 65-year-old woman from Skopje was arrested at Idrizovo prison after marijuana was found and seized during an inspection of a package she had brought for her son, who was serving a prison sentence there, North Macedonia’s Interior Ministry said.[1][2][3][4][5] The ministry said the package was examined at around 10 a.m. on 8 November 2026, when officers inspecting the parcel the woman had brought to the prison facility discovered the marijuana.[1][2][4][5] Police officers then arrested the woman, identified by the initials Dž. F. as a 65-year-old from Skopje, at around 11:30 a.m. on the same morning, when the marijuana was found and seized.[1][2][4][5]

The parcel was intended for her son, and the marijuana was discovered during the package check before officers took her into custody.[6] The Interior Ministry said that once documentation of the case was fully completed, an appropriate criminal complaint would be filed against the suspect.[1][2][4][5] The case therefore remained under documentation, with the criminal complaint still to follow and no court outcome reported.[6]
