Major General Al Marri said the latest specialised operation carried out by the team, was one of the country’s most successful anti-drug operation against one of the largest captagone smuggling syndicates in the world.

The operation was successfully completed due to the cooperation between relevant authorities, leading to the confiscation of 35,755,000 captagone pills, weighing 5.656 tonnes, which were intended to be re-exported to an Arab country, he added.
