Apparently they are "exasperated and frustrated" at the Peruvian authorities...
Something about this statement tells me the gravity of the s
t that awaits them has not yet sunk in. Exasperation and frustration are emotions they will beg to experience when faced by twin horrors fear & despair.

Indeed. It seems their naivety & stupidity knows no bounds. Something about this statement tells me the gravity of the s

Perhaps their legal peeps should tell them that You Can’t Hurry (Peruvian justice) Love and it will be more than just One More Night in the cells for them and far from Just Another Day In Paradise. It’s Against All Odds that Mama will be able to help much and whatever the out come they had best hope that they don’t feel anything In The Air Tonight as it could be an Easy Lover interested in showing them a new Groovy Kind Of Love between Two Hearts. They had also best be aware that they are likely to find themselves living Separate Lives as the authorities put them into different parts of the prison

I suspect it's not their fault, and "where is my government (indeed the one who said she was irish) to sort me out of this (my) mess?". Interesting how quickly this got into the public domain, when there are numbers of banged up abroad we've never heard of.Something about this statement tells me the gravity of the s

Suspect it has a lot to do with timing as only in the last few weeks has their been an upswing in the level of attention paid by the general public to what is still mainly thought of as a Colombian export. Add to that the previous are mainly swampy type blokes and this is two acceptably attractive young girls, a slow news day as the ‘giptians had yet to kick off and everything else was a bit of a rehash of the news from the end of last week and you have the lead story.The fact that the Irish girl had been getting quite a bit of media attention ( at least locally) in the weeks before as being a missing person may have something to do with it. When early last week I first heard the ongoing story of the Irish girl missing on Ibiza I would never have thought she'd turn up in Lima airport with a load of coke. All told it's quite intriguing.
Lots of Brits in their prisons but it is down to quantity, other news that day, how much the locals push it with the agencies etc.
Let us face it Sharon the 36 yearold smackhead caught with 1/2kg of powder on the same days as the Royal babe is born or Putin's anti gay laws come into force is not likely to make the News at 10. These girls, with the added back story of one of them having already been reported missing, are far more likely to.
Again most people with a brain know about that part of the World (or they saw The Beach once) Not so many are aware of Peru other than Paddington Bear.

Weighing up the risk and reward for bringing that much coke back, what would it take to offset the fear of 10 years in a Preuvian Prison?
I think it'd take atleast £5million to even consider it. So the fact they were prepared to do it for probably 25-50k is hard to comprehend.
Think there is a lot more to this, either that or they're just massively thick

“See lov, a few weeks in Peru for free to see the sights then a couple of hours risk and we’re home and dry my girl!
etc...
Or more like, sadly“See lov, a few weeks in Peru for free to see the sights then a couple of hours risk and we’re home and dry my girl!
etc...
"Go on lov, put a picture of us up on FaceBook..." As soon as phone is unlocked and FB logged in phone is grabbed...
... see second post in this thread.

If the bad guys had got this right they'd have packed the amateurs food bags with glucose. Peru customs would still have been distracted enough to let the half dozen pros slip past with 50 kliks, everyone would have had an earner and the girls would have got to spend a night in the nick and back home the next day (assumimg exporting undeclared glucose isn't a serious matter in Peru).
Unless you believe that the girls were set up as bait in order to make it look as if the Police are tough on crime....s p a c e m a n said:
If you told check in as you left here, I guess you would have half a chance. What would the likely outcome of telling check in at peru that you've got a stash of drugs though? There are few countries where I would want the choice.
Me, I would have tried to smuggle it home. If you're going to risk gangsters and prison, you might as well do it for a few million quid.
Isn't their story that they were forced to travel from Ibiza to Madrid to Peru first? Lots of opportunity to bail out.Me, I would have tried to smuggle it home. If you're going to risk gangsters and prison, you might as well do it for a few million quid.
Have they severly screwed up their get out of jail card by saying they were columbians....
1. How would they know their nationality.
2. Do columbian gangstrs operate in peru?
They are now saying they effectivley got kidnapped in ibiza hich makes the story even more far fetched. They could of told armed police at the airport. It seems they were willing i wonder how the courts in peru will see it.

Coincidently there was a show on Discovery last night called extreme smuggling. One aspect related to cocaine from Lima. The exporter there was making about $4M a year and he was just a middleman. They showed the whole process through to handover to the mule.
If nothing else the plight of this pair in Peru brings home the misery of the drug trade from the source to the end user. There's probably not an ounce of the drug that doesn't have blood on it from somewhere along the chain. It makes me annoyed that many seem to think that drugs are harmeless, forgetting the collateral damage caused.
Drugs are bad, m'kay.

Legalise and the quantity of blood will drop by 95% in months.If nothing else the plight of this pair in Peru brings home the misery of the drug trade from the source to the end user.

Ive seen dead eighteen year olds, handsome ones, beautiful ones in one of my beds, cerebrally non functioning.
Coke?
Oh dear.

The former brings its own problems, the latter simply means a continuation illegal supply undercutting the legal.
I don't know. People won't bother searching out the illegal stuff when they can buy the trusted, legit product over the counter.Its like cigarettes. How many people arse around down the car boot sale on a sunday looking for knock off cigs instead of just going to the shops and buying a pack?
