What authorities uncovered was 40 bags of Captagon pills, a drug containing fenetylline which is a synthetic stimulant.
As the U.S. continues to stick their neck out for the Saudis and the Royal family which has a dubious record to say the least, it’s good to know that they have family members personally involved in smuggling drugs.
Right when you think you’ve seen peak irresponsibility from the Saudis, something like this happens!
