Saudi Arabia: Customs officials of Saudi Arabia said that they’ve filed a case on some of the smugglers who were trying to bring illicit cans of beer through the kingdom by disguising them as Pepsi soft drinks.
According to the reports, customs officials say they stopped 48,000 cans of beer moving through the al-Batha border crossing with the United Arab Emirates.
A video posted on Twitter, the customs officials show an officer using a box cutter to open a wrapped 24-pack of the fake Pepsi only to find the green-and-white Heineken cans beneath it.
Drinking or possessing alcohol is a criminal offense in the ultra-conservative Sunni kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
