The Taoyuan District Prosecutor's Office prosecuted a woman named Lin for violating the Drug Harm Prevention Regulations.

A woman surnamed Lin from Taichung City, who works as a tour guide, received instructions from an unknown person nicknamed "Top Selection" and charged NT$25,000. She flew to Germany on July 5 this year, and then took a train to Brussels, Belgium. After collecting a suitcase containing amphetamines, she was seized on her return to Taiwan on July 13. Amphetamines with a net weight of about 2,109 grams were seized. The Taoyuan District Prosecutor's Office has prosecuted her for a drug harm prevention ordinance case.

According to the prosecutor's investigation, Ms. Lin contacted "Top Choice" through messaging software in June. The other party entrusted her to go to Germany to bring the suitcase back to Taiwan. In addition to providing air tickets and travel expenses, she would also be paid 25,000 yuan. On July 5, according to the other party's instructions, Ms. Lin took a flight to Munich, Germany, and then took a train to Brussels, Belgium. On July 11, the suitcase was delivered to her by an unknown person claiming to be "Chen Yuqian."

On July 13, Lin took a flight to Hong Kong and returned to Taiwan. During the immigration inspection at Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 1, she was seized by Taipei Customs officers of the Ministry of Finance and Customs Service. When questioned, Lin confessed that she had no knowledge. However, the Taoyuan District Prosecutor's Office believed that Lin had many years of social experience as a tour guide and should have foreseen that unknown persons might have hidden contraband in their suitcases, which they paid for to be transported by others for no reason. After the investigation, Lin was charged according to the Drug Harm Prevention Act.

Open Questions

  • What are the true identities of the behind-the-scenes instigators "Top Selection" and "Tony Chan"?
  • Are there any other accomplices who have not been caught?
