Quote bramleyrhino="bramleyrhino"It honestly wouldn't surprise me if these two were simply a 'make weight' as part of a bigger operation. I wouldn't be shocked at all if the security forces in Lima were "in" on the entire operation.
There are a lot of temptations here for a naive 22-year-old - more money than you'll earn in a year working the bars, free coke before you go, a nice hotel while you're there - it still remains that they're probably collateral damage in a bigger importation. We aren't talking about some two-bit operation supplying a bit of brown to junkies in Harehills here, we're talking about multi-million pound organised operations.
Could agree with this, whilst Peruvian authorities are busy being photographed and slapping each other on the back, a bigger shipment is on its way to Madrid. Where it is not met by paid off customs officers, who, after receiving a "tipoff" are busy watching the incoming flight from Thailand, Pakistan, Amsterdam or Columbia.
The girls have admitted to bringing something back, they didn't know wether it was money guns or drugs. For that reason I have no sympathy. For those who do, what if it was their 3rd run and thanks to people like them, a number of tourists on Ibiza had overdosed this summer. Would you still have sympathy?
So two young, white, western girls are offered up as a settlement for a relatively small amount of cocaine. "Here you go, here's your PR moment. Just make sure your back is turned when our big shipment goes out next week, OK?"'"
