A 46-year-old man from Turkey with a fake French passport tried to flee customs in Haparanda. When he was arrested after a wild chase, nearly three kilos of cocaine wrapped in socks were found. The man is now being prosecuted for aggravated drug trafficking. “To my knowledge, it is the largest cocaine seizure in Norrbotten,” says prosecutor Jonas Fjellström.
