Question by Frank: European drug “mules”…are criminals or victims of crime?
I have recently read a book about two Britons who spent 4 years in the Venezuelan prison system for drug trafficking.As the media says, there are many Europeans in the jails of Latin America who usually had been cought at the airport with huge amount of drug.
Trafficking drugs is crime. At the other hand, the drug syndicates contract these people exactly to get arrested and get sentenced. These syndicates always target the poorest, the most vulnerable people.
Are the drug “mules ” criminals or victims of crime?

Best answer:

Answer by Douglas S
Hmm “International drug smuggler” criminal.
Analogy: “I was only trying to carry these 6 boxes of rifles into North Korea, for someone else, they took advantage of my circumstances!” Death by execution.
If anyone is so out of touch with reality, that they can no longer differentiate between a bong at home, and international drug smuggling, they belong in prison.

In case any of your readers don’t understand the topic:
NOTICE: There are laws that can get you killed, or imprisoned for a very long time, and they are not a joke! Carrying illegal drugs, across international borders, is among them.
Best Wishes
