It does seem unlikely that a 92 year old retired surgeon who was traveling to Australia would have any incentive to be a drug mule.....and he was acquitted...........in the case at hand we have 3 people who are not going to be able to explain how they could afford to be on a $22,000/ per person cruise with money they legitimately earned. Tamine was unemployed and the two girls were wannabe Sugar Babies..... what will their answer be when they are asked who paid for the cruise tickets and with what money? This is presumably why they were labelled "high risk travellers" in the tip received by Australian authorities. The facts we know about this case do not suggest that this is a situation in which their luggage was secretly opened and stashed, although I have allowed that in the Tamine playing Sugar Daddy scenario, he could have gotten the cocaine from the cargo hold and stashed it in the girl's suitcases. This possible scenario means the girls would have been duped by a fake SD in Tamine, whose maintainance man background may have come in handy for stashing and moving cocaine around surreptitiously, but whose life resume does not appear to enable him to pull off his cover as a sophisticated world traveller Sugar Daddy.
As mentioned previously Australia is a huge target with a bullseye on its ports, because the same stash of cocaine you sell on the streets there gets 3 times as much as anywhere else in the world, this due to the difficulty to get it on the island. Ironically if the authorities let more cocaine come in the price would initially go down, of course addiction would also go up so maybe that would drive demand back up as well.
