A man surnamed Jian used the food delivery platform Uber to transport drugs and hid amphetamines in rubber gloves in an attempt to transfer them. The alert deliveryman surnamed Zhang discovered something strange in the package during the delivery. He opened the box and checked it and reported it. The prosecutors charged Jian Man with the crime of attempted transfer of prohibited drugs.
Prosecutors pointed out that at around 4 p.m. on November 10 last year, a man surnamed Jian put a bag of rubber gloves containing amphetamines into a bag at his residence in Sanmin District, and used the delivery platform Uber to place an order, intending to deliver the drugs to a man nicknamed "Zai."
Jian Nan thought that by using an unsuspecting delivery person to pick up the order and deliver it, he could complete the drug transaction without anyone noticing. However, after the delivery person named Zhang picked up the order, he noticed that the appearance and weight of the package were different during the delivery. He became suspicious and opened the box to check. He was surprised to find a package of suspected drug crystals hidden in the gloves. He then went straight to the police station with the package and handed it over to the police for disposal.
After receiving the report, the police followed up the investigation and successfully arrested Mr. Jian, and seized amphetamines (net weight approximately 3.5 grams), rubber gloves, drug-trafficking mobile phones and other evidence. The Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office concluded that Jian Nan used an unknowing delivery person to commit a crime and was an indirect principal offender. Although the attempted drug transfer failed, it also violated the "Drug Harm Prevention Regulations" and the "Pharmaceutical Affairs Law". The prosecutor followed the principle of "heavy law over light law" and prosecuted Jian Nan for the crime of attempted transfer of prohibited drugs under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, which has a heavier crime.
