Benoit and Calder, from London, were arrested and accused of possession and offer. A judge custody them last week during a hearing.
According to the British government, the fine in Albania for delivering drugs is up to 15 years in prison. About 4,000 British attend the annual Dance Music Festival, this year characterized by the London Jazz Group The Ezra Collective from 4 to 11 June.
The Albanian authorities say that the beautiful coastal region is flooded with drugs in the summer. Police chief Elidon Cela said that their fight against drugs “intensify during the tourist season”.
Speakingly to the mirror, he said: “In addition to local criminal elements, foreign tourist flows bring criminal elements that bring synthetic drugs to our country with the intention of spreading them to tourists.”
The charges come amid an abundance of Britons who have been thrown into foreign prisons in the field of drugs in recent weeks. In Thailand alone, more than 50 have been arrested because they try to smuggle cannabis in the last 12 months. And three are confronted with the death penalty in Bali accused of human trafficking.
Last month Bella Culley, 18, from Tesside, reportedly tried to smuggle a suitcase from weed to Georgia. Ex-Air Stewardess Charlotte May Lee, 21, from South London, shared a prison with five other women after being caught 46 kg of the medicine in her affairs in Sri Lanka.
And the 21-year-old mother Cameron Bradford, from Knebworth, Herts, was held at Munich airport on suspicion of travel with cannabis from Thailand.
