The Appeal Court handed down its verdict yesterday in a case against three foreigners accused of attempting to smuggle more than two kilograms of heroin from Cambodia to Australia in 2013, upholding the municipal court’s decision to sentence all three to between 23 and 27 years in prison. On May 24, 2014, the Phnom Penh Municipal Court convicted 25-year-old Nigerian national Precious Chneme Nwoko of drug trafficking and sentenced him to 27 years in prison and fined him 80 million riel (about $20,000).
 

Charlene Savarino, a 21-year-old French national, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and slapped with a 50 million riel (about $12,500) fine on the same charge. Australian Ann Taylor Yoshe, 43, was given a 23-year sentence and a 50 million riel fine.
 

The three were arrested on September 18, 2013, when they tried to smuggle the drugs to Australia in bags through Phnom Penh International Airport. Pol Sam Oeun, the presiding judge at the Appeal Court, said: “Based on hearings and evidence, the Appeal Court has found that the judgment of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court was right and was made in accordance with the laws of Cambodia.”

You play the game, you take the knocks.

 

See you in 20+ years folks.  Enjoy the fish head soup.......every night!

About 10,000 passengers pass through the airport there. 

0.1g of heroine goes for about $15.00 USD.......not including the cut.

As it most likely get's stomped on minimum 10X.

 

Do the Math.

2 KG $30,000 divided 3 ways. Doesn't even pay the deposit on a lawyer IF you got away with it. Hmmm.  I'll bet THAT get rich quick plan doesn't look so crash hot now.

Stick them in front of a Firing Squad, they are all a Waste of Space !

Hope they rot in the prison 

The only comment i have is "Good!"
