A Chinese flight attendant from Malaysia Airlines who smuggled more than 20 kilograms of heroin worth more than 18 million yuan into the street was sentenced to 12 years and 4 months in prison by a state court, but a mafia, known as "uncle", is still at large in charge of the drug case.
The 28-year-old, Jackson Teo, was convicted on 12 November after the establishment of an entry-and-entry charge for the smuggling of commercial quantities, as disclosed in the Pioneer Sun.
Zhang and two others were recruited by the mysterious mafia eldest uncle to participate in the shrewd drug trafficking program.
After driving Zhang to Kuala Lumpur airport, Uncle gave him and the second man a bag of 75% pure heroin, weighing 21 kilograms.
The luggage bag of the old drg board was checked and checked, boarded a horse-flight machine, flew to Melbourne with the other two, and arrived at the Melbourne airport on March 19,2017.
During the trial, police disclosed that Uncle had instructed a third person to receive luggage bags marked Zhang Jason and the second drug man. However, he only got the hold drug bag of the second man, and Zhang Jason's bag was shipped to Melbourne by another flight the next day.
The unfollowed bag was handed over to the Australian Border Service (ABF) and the Australian Federal Police by airline personnel.
Police linked the bag to Jason Zhang through electronic identification tags on luggage bags and closed-circuit television (CCTV), at Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne airports.
He was police officer arrest on March 21, but denied that he knew the bag contained heroin.
He told officials that he had come to Australia for a "short tour" after "winning a holiday" in his job.
Jason Zhang declined to provide details of his work and how to win overseas vacations, or anything about uncle.
In sentencing, Gregory Lyon judge pointed out that Zhang must be held responsible for his serious crimes.
"although you have a limited role in this drug trafficking program, you are clearly willing to participate, knowing the substance of the program," judge said.
He sentenced the Malaysia Airlines young airliner to at least eight years and three months in prison before he could apply for parole.
The second defendant in the case, accusation, has been revoked and the third acquitted after the hearing.
