webfact Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Malaysian arrested for smuggling $180,000 in 'ice' BANGKOK (TNA) -- A Malaysian man on Thursday was arrested while waiting in the transit lounge at Thailand's Suvarnabhumi international airport for smuggling 2.5 kg of crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as "ice", with an estimated street value of more than Bt6 million (US$180,000). Gunalan Sinnasamy was apprehended after Thai drug police were informed of traces of ice smuggling from Ethiopia on Ethiopian Airlines, Flight 606. Five bags of the drugs were hidden in a specially-made compartment in the suspect's baggage. The man confessed he had been hired for Bt60,000 by an Ethiopian agent to smuggle ice to a drug network in Malaysia, where the drug was to be sold at a double price. Police charged him with having 'ice' in his possession for sale and smuggling illicit drugs into the kingdom. (TNA) -- TNA 2010-06-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colabamumbai Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 If he was in transit, was he actually in the country? If he had not gone thru Thai immigration, theoretically he was not in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhgz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 "If he was in transit, was he actually in the country? If he had not gone thru Thai immigration, theoretically he was not in the country." Huh? He was in the airport and, since the airport is located in Thailand, he was in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport not in Thailand :D If you arrive at an airport in Canada and you get cold feet and you tell immigration that you have drugs before you go thru immigration, they do not charge you with importing, minimum 7 years. Yes you will be arrested but the sentence will be less than an importing charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogoso Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Why not just notify the Malaysia authorities, let them execute him. They take drugs entering their country very seriously. Thai authorities don't get their hands dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai authorities don't get their hands dirty. Yeah, right. There were probably ten bags of the stuff at the time of the bust. Their hands are already "dirty".
