Through patrolling, controlling, grasping the situation, collected information and practical experience in the fight against drugs, Hanoi Customs received information about a large amount of drugs from Germany to Vietnam.
In order to promptly prevent, arrest and destroy drug crime rings, the leader of the Drug Control Team proposed the leader of the Hanoi Customs Department to establish Project HP 524 chaired by the Hanoi Customs Department in coordination with the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department (Hanoi Police) and the North Hanoi Customs Branch to combat drug crimes illegally transported from Germany to Vietnam, via Noi Bai International Airport.
The case was established by the Hanoi Customs Department on May 30. Just four days later, on June 4, the task force tracked the shipment and arrested four suspects, seizing about 179 kg of MDMA.
This is a typical and outstanding case, with the largest amount of drugs seized ever via air.
The case is currently being investigated, clarified and handled by the authorities in accordance with the provisions of law.
According to the leader of the Drug Prevention and Control Team, in 2024, implementing drug prevention and control work and the Drug Prevention and Control Action Month, based on the local situation, professional warnings, and directions from leaders at all levels, the Hanoi Customs Department has developed and issued a synchronous plan and measures to implement the drug prevention and control work and the Action Month plan; at the same time, closely coordinated with the specialized drug prevention and control force to combat and destroy drug trafficking lines by air.
The leaders of the Hanoi Customs Department said that the transportation of drugs by air to Vietnam is very complicated. The subjects often take advantage of the form of "gifts" via express delivery or "hand-carried" goods, by taking advantage of people providing delivery and shipping services, international students, and flight attendants.
Previously, in Ho Chi Minh City, the authorities also discovered 4 flight attendants involved in transporting drugs through Tan Son Nhat Airport. Following this line, so far, Ho Chi Minh City Police have prosecuted 318 cases with nearly 1,000 defendants, seized 319 kg of various drugs, a number of weapons, explosives, supporting tools and other related evidence, with a transaction value of up to 28,000 billion VND.
