The Department of Justice (DOJ) has approved the filing of criminal charges against Christine Tigranes, the consignee of over P218 million worth of shabu seized at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Tigranes faces charges for violating the Dangerous Drugs Act for importation of illegal drugs and the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act for unlawful importation.
She was arrested at NAIA on April 17 for picking up a shipment falsely declared as 'machinery muffler', which contained 32.13 kilograms of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
The illegal drugs were shipped from Harare, Zimbabwe, by Isaac Chikore.
The shipment arrived at the Paircargo warehouse facility in NAIA on April 13.
Airport authorities flagged the shipment during X-ray examination, and a physical inspection confirmed the presence of the illegal substance.
