Saudi prince held in record Beirut airport drug bust
Quote:
BEIRUT: A Saudi prince and four others were detained on Monday in Lebanon in the largest drug bust in the history of the Beirut airport, a security source said.
Saudi prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz and four others were detained by airport security while allegedly “attempting to smuggle about two tons of Captagon pills and some cocaine,” a security source told AFP.
“The smuggling operation is the largest one that has been foiled through the Beirut International Airport,” the source said on condition of anonymity.
Captagon is the brand name for the amphetamine phenethylline, a synthetic stimulant. The banned drug is consumed mainly in the Middle East and has reportedly been widely used by fighters in Syria.
I am a prince and I do what I want, said drugged-up Saudi royal
The security source said the drugs had been packed into cases that were waiting to be loaded onto a private plane that was headed to Saudi Arabia.
The five Saudi citizens were still in the airport and would be questioned by Lebanon’s customs authority, the source added.
In April 2014, security forces foiled an attempt to smuggle 15 million capsules of Captagon hidden in shipping containers full of corn from Beirut’s port.
Lebanon’s state news agency also reported Monday’s drug bust, saying the private plane was to head to Riyadh and was carrying 40 suitcases full of Captagon.
Saudi prince arrested on sex crime charge is late King Abdullah’s son: report
Saudi Arabia’s large royal family has had past run-ins with authorities in various countries.
Late last month, a Saudi prince was arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly trying to force a woman to perform oral sex on him at a Beverly Hills mansion.
But authorities decided not to pursue the charge, citing a lack of evidence.
In 2013, a Saudi princess was accused in Los Angeles of enslaving a Kenyan woman as a housemaid, but the charges were also eventually dropped.

There is a Vice News piece on the use of Captagon in the middle east, especially popular with soldiers. The brandname pill contains two separate drugs one is an amphetamine or amphetamine like compound and I forget what the other is. Anyway they're both stimulants. Really strange how they aren't just cranking out meth over there and using that.

I'm surprised the "do you know who I am?" didn't work. The SRF is not an enemy you want to have

Just watching a short doc on this, they said the other was caffeine.

He's probably funding military operations in syria. I don't think his motivation is greed, I think it's ideology driven through his religion. Drug money is the perfect kind of money to fuel questionable agendas because it doesn't exist on paper.

Exactafuckinglutly! Why do poeple think the Bush cartel, which started under Prescott Bush who was one of Hitler's along with Top Allies number one banker. Then his son CREATES the CIA and becomes president. All why doing so creating wars to control the poppy trade because no drug is remotely as lucrative as Heroin. Vietnam was as much a Heroin war as it was "communism". How the hell do you think the US funds all their Black Ops of the books.
Same with 2001.The Taliban burned the majority of poppy fields and royally fucked Heroin Production which was in reality US controlled by the us funded Taliban in case Russia tried to pull some shit but really they were there to oversee the hundreds of billions in poppy money which funds Many CIA operations. And what do you you know 2001 is on of the lowest production years in decades, as soon as we invade 2002 was one of the highest years of production and it's been going up ever since. Dont fuck withe the Saudis no don't fuck with the Family that financed WW2 in so many major ways, Created the CIA, and got us into "busniess" not political wars.
The youngest of the three plays the I'm not evil I'm just ignorant card beautifully. He's one of the most well versed & educated people in the world.

Watched a documentary on these a while back and how basically all syrian fighters are addicted to the shit. It's really a good thing. Make them fucking retarded tweakers. I'm sure 80% of those pills are cut with other amphetamines.

This isn't a new phenomenon. The 20th century was the century where psychoactives other then alcohol became a staple part of the soldiers lives, sometimes for a perceived tactical advantage and other times for purely recreation or self medicating. Opium has always been used throughout history on the battlefield to treat pain but was never used widespread for recreation. Japanese soldiers use of methamphetamine during WWII, along with german soldiers use of amphetamines was widespread. The American soldiers in Vietnam used Cannabis anwd Heroin at incredibly high rates. D-Amphetamine is still required for pilots on long flights especially through the night in the US Air Force.

Saudi's are pretty fucking Americanized. I know a fucking shit ton of them from college. They break every fucking moral code they have the second they get into a democratic state. I swear even the most religious one who made it a goal to pray like 5x a day finally caved in and got drunk/smoked weed. It's actually pretty funny. Except the obvious problems of having full grown men who have never drank before isn't pleasant some times haha
