A Greek billionaire and heir to the Coca-Cola fortune was arrested upon landing in St. Kitts on a private jet. A search of his private jet allegedly uncovered more than $1.3 million worth of Cannabis.

Alkiviades “Alki” David, 50, was arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Unit at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport after customs officials found approximately 5,000 cannabis plants in addition to seeds and a variety of other cannabis products,. He was charged with intent to supply, possession of controlled drugs and importation of a controlled drug into the federation, officials from the St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force confirmed to The Daily Express.

David claimed that the plants on board were “all hemp” and were related to a new venture to start a legal cannabis business in the region.

David and a business partner had plans to form a consortium aimed at developing the cannabis business in Eastern Caribbean.

He arrived in St. Kitts with his business partner, Ergen and Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. David is the owner of SwissX, a medical marijuana company.
