Whatever happens on this island never remains a secret. It is therefore strange for us to accept that the Police do not uncover to full extent the drug racket on this island. These foreign mules are the sacrificial lambs of people that give someone up to take pressure off their backs.
We hear about foreigners being caught trafficking drugs almost on a weekly basis, but it does not take rocket science to realise that if one is caught, 10 more pass through. This is how these things work!
The Police/Customs make their catch, get their publicity, the government gets plaudid for the efforts....and in the meantime the drug trade in Malta is still thriving!
A yacht comes under Dingli and unloads a box, the police intercept, but then it is found to be...'soap'. How convenient! Ah yes, these were locals not foreigners!

@Police Commissioner

A number of drug mules are being caught following tip offs. The only people who can probably do tip offs are people who are embroiled in the process themselves.
There are so many tip offs happening lately thay I am sure that there might be further motives for such tip offs.

Could it be, that on the same plan there would be more than one person carrying drugs, one having a substantial amount and the other (or others) having even higher amounts. Could it be that the only real reason for tip offs is to divert attention from the others carrying large amounts of drugs to drug mules. So that police focus on the tipped off person only and the others come out unhindered.

Where did I get this theory ? I was tipped off!

Can this peddler of filthy drugs now be deported back to Nigeria to serve his sentence there. Why should the Maltese taxpayers have to bear the costs of maintaining this person here for ten years?
