Customs officials at Bangladesh’s second largest airport have seized gold bars weighing about 5kg from a plane of the national carrier arriving from Dubai, an official said yesterday.
“We’ve seized 41 gold bars weighing 5kg from an aircraft of Biman Bangladesh Airlines,” the official of the customs intelligence department who preferred to be unnamed told Xinhua over phone. He said the seizure was made at the Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong, some 242km southeast of Dhaka, on Monday. Acting on a tip-off, the official said customs officials conducted the raid and found the gold bars in a bag lying in an aisle of the aircraft of Biman. He said no one was arrested in connection with the seizure at the airport. Last month police seized 13.5kg gold and arrested a Dubai returnee at the airport in Dhaka.
