68-Year-Old Attempted Escape to Occupied Territories with Mask and Stolen ID

A 68-year-old man was arrested and pleaded not guilty to charges of importing drugs, conspiracy, illegal procurement, and possession of narcotics. The defendant allegedly attempted to cross into the occupied territories with a stolen ID and a mask, through the Deryneia checkpoint. The court ordered him to be held in custody until the start of the trial on May 26, 2026. During a search of his home, 994 sheets of paper soaked in narcotics were found. The prosecution requested his detention due to the risk of flight, a request that was granted by the court.
