Coss Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 A Thai court on Thursday sentenced a Spanish woman to life in prison for attempting to smuggle 2.9 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine out of the country. The Bangkok Criminal Court initially handed Maria Nieves Garcia Alcaraz, 52, the death sentence but commuted it to life imprisonment because Alcaraz pleaded guilty. She was arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport in August, after 2,914 grams of crystal methamphetamines was found in her luggage. Alcaraz was in transit at the airport, arriving from Ethiopia and heading for Bali, Indonesia. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
