The East Cairo Public Prosecution ordered a four-day detention pending investigation against a Sudanese co-pilot on Tuesday for possessing crystal methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the Cairo Airport.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

He was arrested while traveling as a passenger on a flight from Cairo to Port Sudan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airport security officers intercepted the Sudanese passenger\u2014who works as a co-pilot for a Sudanese airline\u2014carrying the drug and paraphernalia before he could board a flight operated by his own company.<\/span><\/p>\n

The co-pilot admitted that he possessed the drugs for personal use and had exploited his airline uniform and work permit to board the aircraft without undergoing a security search. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Public Prosecution ordered his detention for four days pending investigation and directed that he undergo a forensic drug test.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
