Chinese nationals held with 96 gold bars at Dhaka airport.
Two Chinese nationals have been arrested at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on charges of trying to smuggle 96 gold bars weighing about 11kg into the country today.
Ruan Jinfeng, 48, and Yonggang Zu, 45, were caught hours apart with the bars hidden inside portable lights at the airport’s green channel.
Ruan was caught around 8:00am and Yonggang around 9:00pm, customs and customs intelligence officials said.
After Ruan was caught in the morning, his friend Yonggang kept waiting at the transit area throughout the day, said Shahidul Islam, director general of customs intelligence.
As officials found his demeanour suspicious, they brought him to the green channel and scanned his luggage and found 48 gold bars.
