Unbelievable!! Someone trying to sneak Heineken beer into a country that has beheaded at least 151 people this year.
Although degrees of punishment vary depending on who committs the offense, it is against the law to possess alcohol in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Customs officers at the Al Batha border crossing intercepted the forbidden contraband, according to LBC America.
“A truck carrying what first seemed to be normal cans of the soft drink Pepsi was stopped and after the standard process of searching the products, it became clear the alcoholic beer was covered with Pepsi stickers,” Al Batha border General Manager Abdulrahman al-Mahna reportedly said. The officer also stated that despite the development of new, clever methods to smuggle goods across the border, his patrolmen “are always ready and alert to catch.” It is not yet known what punishment the driver of the truck will endure.
