Man jailed for cocaine smuggling

12/07/2012 - 14:56:39
A Guyanese father in desperate financial straits has been jailed for three and a half years for smuggling 55 pellets of cocaine into Ireland in his stomach.

Gordon Plass (aged 41) pleaded guilty to possessing nearly €39,000 worth of the drug after he was stopped at Dublin Airport last February and was found to have a suspiciously distended stomach.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard he'd liquidated all his assets to buy the cocaine with the aim of making €5,000 profit here.

His lawyers said he was in financial disaster and took a chance but ended up losing everything.

Foolish man. Liquidating assets proceeds plus 5k pounds can't buy back those assets. Now he has to do time.

Indeed, Ksaz. And he should thank his lucky stars he's still alive. Had one of those pellets ruptured in his stomach; it would have been a different ballgame.

Mr.TI pity the fool

Too many Guyanese see the smuggling of cocaine as an easy way to make money. Airlines out of Guyana are nothing more than drug carriers.

Why would a Guyanese smuggle cocaine into Ireland when Ireland is the cocaine capital of the world?
