Liberia: How a Huge Drug Consignment Moved Through the Airport

The documents reviewed by the Daily Observer, combined with interviews with sources familiar with airport cargo operations, allow for a clearer reconstruction of how the nearly 200-kilogram cocaine shipment moved through Roberts International Airport before its discovery.

The emerging picture suggests that the shipment did not arrive at the airport on the day it was intercepted. Instead, it appears to have spent several days moving through various stages of the export process, passing through multiple layers of handling, documentation, storage, and security procedures before authorities ultimately discovered its contents.
