Two haredi yeshiva students in the twenties were reportedly arrested in Spain early last week after allegedly smuggling drugs into the country. The two were reportedly on their from Morocco to Israel when the drugs were discovered.
The pair, who were allegedly arrested Tuesday but were not allowed to call their families until Friday, reportedly say they had no idea the drugs were in their possession.
A series of similar incidents with haredi yeshiva students took place in Japan, Europe and South America during the last decade. In most of the incidents the students claimed to be unaware of the drugs and said they were only carrying a package for a friend or community leader.
The religious names of the two students are reportedly Nosson ben Edna and Yosef ben Rita.
