Mark Howden of Howden Saggers Lawyers acted for a Taiwanese national who was seduced by a Cameroon drug trafficker in Taiwan. She was unaware of his illegal activities and was convinced to travel to Peru to collect some precious stones to take to Australia on behalf of her “boyfriend”. Unknown to her, she received items containing cocaine and then brought those items to Australia. She was arrested at the airport and charged with a very serious offence of importing illegal drugs.

Following a two week trial in the Supreme Court at Brisbane, a jury found our client not guilty.
