The Cambodian man, 27 year old Soum Vuthy was arrested immediately after the drugs were found, when he went to pick up the parcel on 20 November.
The other two suspects were arrested later. They have been identified as 44 year-old Colombian man, Giraldo Marulandajuan Carlos, and another Colombian national, Quevedo Pinzonfelix Rodrigo, 50 years old who is believed to be the mastermind behind the scheme.

The actual method is quite sneaky, but seriously, you send one shock absorber via DHL and you expect no one to notice?

UPDATE: Two and a half years after their arrest, the two Colombian men have gone to trial before the Phnom Penh Municipal Court today, charged with transporting drugs.

May 28, 2020
Duo charged over 20kg cocaine shipment hidden in car parts
Phnom Penh Municipal Court today began the trial of two Columbian men accused of transporting 20 kilograms of cocaine, hidden inside a shipment of Mercedes-Benz car parts from Brazil to Cambodia in 2017.

Presiding Judge Seng Leang identified the pair as 54-year-old clothe vendor Quevedo Pinzonfelix Rodrigo and 47-year-old tourist Giraldo Marulandajuan Carlos.

Judge Leang said that both were charged with “drug transport” under Article 40 of Law on the Control of Drugs. If convicted, they are face life sentences in prison.

Lieutenant Colonel Chea Samoeun, the Deputy Chief of Anti-Drug Office in Ministry of Interior, testified today in court that on November 8, 2017, Cambodian anti-drug police received the report from Belgian anti-drug police about the delivery from Brazil.
