The Spanish Customs, at the Madrid-Barajas Airport, reported that they seized more than 200 Viagra pills from a Cuban passenger that he was bringing from the island, which can carry a fine of up to 30 thousand euros.
A man from Cuba faced an unusual situation at Barajas Airport when he was discovered by authorities with more than 200 Viagra pills in his luggage, local media reported.
Although the passenger claimed that the pills had been prescribed by his doctor in Cuba, the high amount led him to incur an administrative violation, with a possible fine ranging between 600 and 30,000 euros.
Upon arriving at Barajas Airport, he was discovered by the Civil Guard with 200 Viagra pills in his luggage, equivalent to 47 blister packs of Sildenafil. The man claimed that the pills came from a medical prescription in Cuba, however, he did not have the prescription at the time of the customs control.
“I didn’t know, because every time I go to Cuba I bring something from the doctor,” he told the Spanish customs authorities.
The amount of Viagra, considered “excessive” by the authorities, led him to incur an administrative violation, with a possible fine ranging between 600 and 30,000 euros.
With the shortage of medicines in Cuba, where did this Cuban get so many Viagra pills, more than 200?
Huge amount of Viagra seized from Cuban in Spain
According to the Spanish authorities, the seizure of that amount of Viagra from the Cuban is not an isolated case. Authorities confirmed to local media the existence of a thriving illegal Viagra business in Spain, with Barajas Airport as the main entry point. The figure is alarming: an average of one million pills are seized per year, which highlights the magnitude of the problem.
The Cuban, interviewed by Cuatro, responded that Spain is where there are “erection problems” and he only took these medications to “improve his pulmonary circulation.”
