Heroin found near Filitheyo Resort island amount to 45 kilograms

Translation from Google Translate:

A staggering 45 kilograms of drugs, specifically heroin, were discovered in the sea near Filitheyo Resort island in Faaf atoll, local media outlet Vaguthu reported in a Maldivian native Dhivehi language report.

However, despite this significant find, no arrests have been made thus far.

A police statement has confirmed the successful completion of the operation which took place near the island from May 18.

Notably, a similar incident occurred last year when a substantial quantity of drugs was seized in a Maldivian lagoon, yet no suspects were apprehended at that time.

Concerns have been raised regarding the ability of suspects, particularly those involved in major drug trafficking, to evade justice, leading to complaints about their continued impunity.
