Although the Narcotics Control Bureau of Nepal Police claims to have
averted all attempts of international drug traffickers to smuggle
cocaine to destination countries making Nepal a transit point, the risks
of being arrested and jailed do not seem to have deterred drug
carriers.
The first recorded cocaine smuggling via Nepal dates to January 4, 2012
when Thai woman Suparerat Mcintosh was held in possession of one kg of
cocaine from the Tribhuvan International Airport.
She had carried the drug through seven countries, including Indonesia,
Peru‚ Argentina and Qatar, to smuggle it into Malaysia, the final
destination, as a drug mule.
A total of 24 kg of cocaine has been seized in a period of five years,
which indicates that international drug racketeers are using Nepal as a
transit point and that the drug lords give enough incentives to induce
careers to risk arrest and prosecution.
