The Saudi prince along with four other Saudi nationals was attempting to smuggle around two tons of captagon tablets on their private jet to Saudi Arabia .
Airport authorities are now conducting the necessary investigations, in coordination with the competent judicial authorities, to uncover the tails of this major process which is the largest drug smuggling operation across Beirut airport .
