When It Really Sucks To Be You

[dgridley]

German teen Sabrina Sandra Abozovski, 19, was arrested Sunday with 20 kilos of heroin in the Turkish southern resort of Antalya while trying to smuggle it into Europe. Life in a Turkish prison is no fun...

Hopefully they'll let her serve her time out at home (Germany).. I don't condone what she did, but it's going to be a hard road for her.

Midnight Express ?

 

[{insert name here}]

Whoever produces or imports narcotics without a license or in violation of a license is sentenced to 10-20 years of imprisonment

a license?

You can get a license to import drugs?

 

[dgridley]

Of course.. how do you think wholesale - retail outlets or pharmaceutical supply houses get their pharmaceuticals into (or out of) the country? They are licensed to import or export as the case may be.

sdsinc: Midnight Express is an older movie inspired by the story of American Billy Hayes who was caught trying to smuggle hashhish out of Turkey.

she looks so innocent...

 

[dgridley]

I was thinking that too.. I don't know the whole story but often these tourists get duped by boyfriends or whatever into transporting drugs which makes it a double tragedy, to be duped by someone you cared for and trusted and thrown in prison besides.

she looks so innocent...

I thought so to but you can never judge a book by its cover

 

[dgridley]

Supposedly 19, looks much younger in some shots.. if I'd just been nabbed with that much heroin, I think I'd be doing some serious praying that I'd miraculously turn invisible or something

heroin is a opiate pain killer so you can get a license for it.

You'd have to be in serious pain to be needing 20 kilos.
I'm sure that several attorneys and politicians are already shaking hands, Germany is going to demand her extradition, money and favors are going to change hands.... the last word is definitely not spoken yet
