A 21-year-old Liberian who was arrested at the airport as he disembarked from a flight from Brussels on Monday pleaded not guilty to conspiring to import cocaine.
Samuel Wisdom, who was born in Liberia but had been residing in Romania with refugee status, was stopped by Customs officers.
Police Inspector Norbert Ciappara told the court that about 80 capsules of the drug had been found in Mr Wisdom's stomach after x-rays were taken at the hospital. Each of the capsules contained about 10 grams of the drug.
Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona remanded Mr Wisdom in custody after taking into consideration the large amount of drugs found.
Until yesterday afternoon, Mr Wisdom was still carrying some of the drug in his stomach.
