A Swiss woman has been arrested in the Philippines after six kilograms of methamphetamine was found in her luggage at Manila Airport.
The drugs are worth more than half a million francs.
The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs confirms the arrest and says the Swiss embassy in Manila is providing consular support, though it cannot interfere in judicial proceedings.
Under Philippine law, possession of more than 50 grams of meth can mean life imprisonment and heavy fines.
With no prisoner transfer agreement between the two countries, any sentence would have to be served locally in notoriously overcrowded jails.
