The Public Security Police (PSP) seized 20 kilograms of drugs at Lisbon airport during an operation when a foreign national arrived in the city from Rio de Janeiro.

The drugs were disguised within household items, including pots, which led to their detection by the authorities.

Investigations are underway to determine the origin and destination of the seized substances.

This action highlights the PSP's efforts in combating drug trafficking at entry points into the country.
