Aliya and Samah Abedin, a couple from East Jerusalem, were arrested at Ben Gurion Airport on suspicion of trying to smuggle gold ounces weighing 2.630 kilograms and gold jewelry weighing 921 grams from Dubai to Israel.
The suspects were caught after customs inspectors in the passenger hall on the green route detained the woman for a baggage check, and found many ounces of gold on her body as well as valuable jewelry. Her husband, who had already left the passenger hall, was called by the customs inspectors in the passenger hall at the airport to retrace his steps, and he is also suspected of being involved in the alleged smuggling attempt.
