Customs officers at Geneva Airport seized a package containing seven kilograms of ketamine. On July 20th, they intercepted a shipment destined for the United States that had been sent by an individual living in Switzerland. The substance, in powder form, was contained in seven bags hidden in secured boxes disguised as dictionaries. Each box contained a one-kilogram package of white powder. A subsequent control with a drug detector revealed that it was ketamine. Ketamine is used in medicine as an anaesthetic, but is increasingly being abused as a party drug. The substance was handed over to the Geneva Cantonal Police. In summary, customs officers at Geneva Airport seized a package containing seven kilograms of ketamine on July 20th.
