Sydney (AFP) - Six Taiwanese men are facing life sentences after being charged
with importing Aus$42 million ($39 million) worth of methamphetamine into
Australia, authorities said Sunday.
The men were due to face a Sydney court on Sunday and could also receive fines
of more than Aus$1 million if convicted of importing 50 kilogrammes (110 pounds)
of the illegal drug, Australian Federal Police said in a statement.
Customs officials said they started their investigations when they inspected a
consignment from China labelled as a "boiler" last month and found a "white
crystalline substance" in it.
The substance was revealed after tests to be methamphetamine, police said.
雪梨(法新社)——本周日澳洲當局聲稱,因走私價值4200萬澳元(合3900萬美元)的冰毒進
入澳洲,六個臺灣人面臨終身監禁的刑罰。
澳洲聯邦員警在一份聲明中說,這些人預定在周日面臨雪梨法院的裁決,如果被裁定走私
了50千克(合110磅)毒品他們可能還會獲判超過100萬澳元的罰款。
海關官員說,上個月他們在檢查從中國托運的標示為“鍋爐”的貨物時,在裏面發現了
“白色晶體物質”,隨即展開了調查。
警方說,經測試這些物質顯示為冰毒 。
The men, aged between 27 and 46, were arrested Saturday after they allegedly
picked up the consignment in western Sydney and took its contents to a hotel.
They were charged with the importation and the attempted possession of a
commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug.
The federal police's crime operations manager Jennifer Hurst said the arrests
should send a "strong signal to those wishing to import and distribute illicit
drugs that it is not worth it".
Four Taiwanese nationals and one Australian were charged in February after
police seized Aus$180 million worth of methamphetamine stashed in a consignment
of kayaks from China.
這些人年齡在27歲至46歲之間,依照其供述他們是在雪梨西區拿到這批貨的,然後就將裏
面的毒品帶到一家酒店。隨後員警在週六逮捕了他們。
他們被控走私以及企圖持有商業用量的邊境管制毒品。
聯邦員警犯罪行動組的主管Jennifer Hurst表示,這次的逮捕行動應該給了那些企圖走私
及分銷毒品的人以強烈警示,這樣做是不值得的。
二月份警方從一艘中國托運的皮划艇中查獲了藏匿其中的價值1.8億澳元的冰毒 ,四個台
灣臺灣公民和一個澳洲人被指控進行了此次走私。

4.備註:
Taiwanese這詞看來已經深入人心了……
只是反正都是中國的毒品幹嘛不直接用Chinese就行了。
這時候才分那麼清楚orz。
