MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s customs service said on Thursday that an Italian national had been detained at the border with Latvia after officers found 170 grams of hashish in his luggage.
The 30-year-old man, whom authorities did not name, was arrested by officers from the Federal Security Service (FSB)while trying to enter Russia’s western Pskov region by motorcycle. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
