More than 500 Ecstasy tablets have been confiscated from a parcel sent to southern Addu City from the Netherlands, with customs saying it was one of the largest ‘party drug’ hauls of its kind.
Spokesman Ahmed Niyaz told the Maldives Independent the package first went to the capital’s post office before it went to Gan.
“Customs officials from Malé had doubts about the package and asked officials in Gan to open it. The package was opened by the officials in front of the recipient,” he said.
