Young Estonian became a drug mule for a large SMS loan

24.10.2008, 08:41

The police and customs arrested an Estonian who arrived to Tallinn Airport with 700 grams of pure cocaine in his stomach.

Eesti Päevaleht writes that the 20-year-old Estonian by the name of Veiko was carrying 58 capsules with pure cocaine in his stomach.

Veiko told the authorities that he agreed to become a drug mule because he owed 100,000 kroons for an SMS loan.

Although he was told to transport cocaine from Gambia to London, Veiko decided to fly to Tallinn instead, hoping that he can disapper and sell the cocaine himself.

According to the police, the cocaine that Veiko was carrying cost 2.5 million kroons in street value.

Veiko said that drug smugglers promised to pay him 40,000 kroons.

For such a crime, Veiko can go to jail for up to ten years.

According to the central criminal police, Veiko is fourth drug mule seized by the police who brought drugs into Estonia in stomach. One Estonian is also serving time in Ecuador after she was found to be carrying 5 kilograms of cocaine in her stomach. Another Estonian drug mule was arrested in Peru with 2 kilos of cocaine in his stomach.

If I think about this story, then I come to the conclusion, that it is totally made up.
It has nothing to do with London,sms loans and 40 000 EEK.
He stepped on the plane in Gambia to fly to London:
Where did he change the flight?
He jumped out with a parachute somewhere?

It was just bringing drugs into Estonia.
I am wondering, where the guy took the drugs from.
I guess from South America Not from Gambia as mentioned.
And Estonians are behind this deal.
He had 700 gram in capsules?
Normally, they carry them in kind of condoms.
And another Estonian had 5 kilo in the stomac?
What a nonsense!
5 kilo is impossible!

Maybe he was already working, but wanted/needed to get more money, fast. Considering the interest rates on SMS loans, after a few months he would have needed twice as much money.

....'drug smugglers promised to pay him 40,000 kroons'.----That idiot could have got a job and earned that much money, legally, in a few months. Not to smart!
