A Korean woman was remanded in custody yesterday after she was charged with importing a 10 kilogramme solid bar of cannabis resin inside a false bottom in her suitcase.
Eun Hee Kim, 38, pleaded not guilty to importing the drug and conspiring to traffic in cannabis on Thursday when she landed in Malta from Zurich.
Ms Eun, a fashion designer residing in Thailand, was arrested at the airport on Thursday evening soon after arriving in Malta. Police and customs officials were carrying out routine luggage checks.
She has denied the charges.
