The Spanish Civil Guard detained two men at the Port of Algeciras as they attempted to travel to Morocco with nearly two kilograms of gold hidden in their shoes. According to a statement reported by Spanish media on Thursday, the arrests took place in the passenger screening area for travelers heading from Algeciras to Tangier. The men aroused suspicion during routine checks by security personnel. A detailed search of their belongings revealed gold plates concealed inside their footwear. The seized gold weighed approximately 1,800 grams and is valued at up to €145,000, the same source said. An official report was filed, and legal proceedings are underway.
