Crime intelligence operatives have arrested two people in connection with a multimillion-dollar international drug-smuggling syndicate that uses airlines to traffic narcotics across the world. (Stated as fact!!!) (From IOL)
It is hoped that Thursday's arrests of a security guard at OR Tambo International Airport and an SAA crew member, caught smuggling millions of rands worth of narcotics into Heathrow Airport earlier in the week, have cracked open the suspected west African drug cartel.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Tummi Golding said: "Our intelligence shows that the two are part of a larger syndicate which we strongly suspect has operatives in airlines and at airports to help smuggle drugs across the world.
"We believe that this consignment of drugs was part of a larger stash of narcotics which was destined for the United Kingdom and other European countries," she said, adding that the syndicate was believed to be linked to a west African country that has links to drug cartels across the world." (All of a sudden it's just a bunch of suspicions!)
Cartel - a consortium of independent organizations formed to limit competition by controlling the production and distribution of a product or service; "they set up the trust in the hope of gaining a monopoly" Do the people in this "cartel" really hope to control the supply and price of drugs in London with 50kg's of cannabis and 4kg's of cocaine? Or is this just more sensationalist nonsense?
