Two Tons of Captagon Pills Seized in Turkey

On August 27th Turkey had its largest ever captagon bust where security forces seized 12.3 million pills. Captagon is an amphetamine pill, popular across the Middle East. The pills were hidden inside a shipping container before they were seized in Istanbul. The final destination for the pills is unknown, it is unlikely to be Turkey, as the predominant captagon consumer markets are the gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia, and more recently Jordan and Iraq.
