limbo Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 215mg, that's 0.000215kg. How can you smuggle such a quantity? That's kind of a leftover, innit? Isn't that how much is left on the inside of a banknote after you participated in such decadent behavior. Who did she piss off? The Criminal Court yesterday sentenced former model Chatchaya Cuesta Ramos, better known as Yuyee, to 15 years in prison and fined her Bt1.5 million after finding her guilty of smuggling cocaine into the country. The court initially handed her a 20-year jail term and a Bt2 million fine but reduced both on grounds that her testimony was useful to the case. Yuyee was arrested on November 10, 2012 at Don Mueang International Airport after customs officials found 251mg of cocaine in her suitcase upon arrival from Vietnam. She was charged with illegally possessing and smuggling a type-2 narcotic into Thailand. Separately, the Min Buri Court also handed the 41-year-old down an additional three months in prison for having protected wildlife in her possession. Her lawyer Prasert Boonkaew said that Yuyee's husband had prepared Bt2 million to apply for bail while an appeal for a lower sentence was mounted. Yuyee, who was at the ruling yesterday, didn't comment. The Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YimSiam Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wow, that is Doha/Singapore worthy! Something else going on here, for sure. The animal thing is strange - maybe this has something to do with her husband, an expat in Thailand with some kind of animal fetish: http://www.catandnat.com/pages/content/frank-cuesta-jungle-man#.U5svXPldVR5 Damn, 15 years...

khunsanuk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hi, Sounds like someone tipped them off as I seriously doubt they could find such a miniscule amount in a normal/random search. So, yes, she likely pissed someone off pretty badly. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 215mg would be about a 1/4 of a teaspoon in volume I reckon, comparing it to flour. Wonder if an error in units has crept in somewhere in the article and it was 215 grams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
