Re: Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.
Australian drug mule, Tran Ve Thi, was sentenced to an additional 22 years in prison for a drug trafficking offense committed in 2017, to be served consecutively with her previous 30 year sentence for attempting to fly to Australia from Phnom Penh with a load of heroin in 2018. Unless she gets a pardon, she will likely spend the rest of her life in a Cambodian jail.

Australian woman to spend more than 50 years in prison for drugs
Phnom Penh Municipal Court last week sentenced a woman to 22 years in prison after she was found guilty of attempting to ship nearly one kilogram of heroin from a post office in Daun Penh district in July 2017.
Presiding Judge Koy Sao identified the woman as Tran Ve Thi, who fled the Kingdom shortly before the drugs were discovered by post office officials.
He said Ms Tran returned to Cambodia and was arrested on January 6, 2018, as she attempted to transport heroin to Australia via Phnom Penh International Airport.
Khun Sokna, another judge, noted that last year in May, she was found guilty of “drug possession and trafficking”, and the court sentenced her to 30 years in prison for the drugs found at the airport.
On Friday, the court found her guilty of “drug possession and transporting” for the drugs found at the post office.
“The court has decided to convict the accused Tran Ve Thi and sentence her to 22 years in prison,” Judge Sao said. “The court orders her to pay [about $10,000] to be put in the state’s coffers.”
According to a police report, Ms Tran’s return to Cambodia was alerted by Australian police on January 5, 2018.

So this Vietnamese Aussie fled the KOW before on a botched attempt to smuggle out drugs only to try it again a year later?
Does the triad have something on her and her family to try such an insane thing again?
