The Koninklijke Marechaussee arrested seven people, all working at Schiphol Airport, for involvement in international drug smuggling through the airport. The arrests follow the discovery of shipments of hard drugs by local authorities in Asia in June, the Marechaussee said on Wednesday.
“The drugs were found in boxes in the cargo hold of aircraft from Schiphol, weighing several tens of kilograms per shipment,” said the Koninklijke Marechaussee, a policing force that works as part of the Dutch military and is responsible for airport security.
