Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The accessible text ends behind a paywall, so the length of any prison sentence, fine or other penalty was not published in the readable portion.
The article says four parcels drew customs attention but describes only the first three, so the quantity and outcome for the fourth parcel are unknown.
Each of the three described parcels held a little more than 500 grams, so 1.5 kilograms is an approximate total rather than an exact laboratory weight.
The article gives only Friday for the conviction with a publication date of 23 June 2026, so 19 June 2026 is used as the Friday before publication.
