Malaysia Airlines pilot arrested in Indonesia with 70,000 ecstasy pills had his baggage screened by AVSEC, not MCBA, according to Shuhaily.
The pilot was detained in Indonesia last week after authorities found the drugs in his luggage. The screening process that cleared his baggage was conducted by AVSEC, a separate agency from the Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA).
Shuhaily, a spokesperson, confirmed that the system used for screening the pilot’s luggage was not operated by MCBA. This clarification comes amid ongoing discussions about border security and drug trafficking in the region.
The incident highlights the complexities of cross-border law enforcement and the role of different agencies in screening procedures. Further details on the pilot’s current status remain pending. (nst.com.my)
