Pulbished on:

Tripoli, September 27, 2025 (LANA) – Customs officers at Meatiga International Airport thwarted an attempt to smuggle 250,000 euros, which was in the possession of a Libyan passenger bound for Istanbul on a Libyan Wings flight.

The Customs Authority explained in a statement that the discovery of the sum was made in cooperation with members of the Anti-Smuggling and Drug Control Department during a routine inspection of passengers' luggage on Friday. The sum was found hidden inside one of the bags.

The Authority added that the Meatiga Airport Customs Center has begun taking preliminary legal measures, and that the case file will later be referred to the competent judicial authorities for further investigation.

The Customs Authority affirmed its continued commitment to its national duty in combating attempts to smuggle money and hard currency, which contributes to protecting the national economy and preserving the state's resources.
