Re: Australian drug smuggler sentenced to 23 years in Cambodian
Yoshe and the story were the subject of a two-part "Australian Story" doco that aired last month. Interesting and a bit easier to understand how it unfolded if you can get to see it. There was a fairly elaborate scam involving giving her a job importing art and textiles to Australia. The F...
