Eight people – seven men and a woman – have been remanded in custody in Iceland accused of large scale drug trafficking. Europol is investigating the case along with Icelandic police.
The people are accused of importing cocaine from Spain to Iceland.
Five of the men were arrested in the Reykjavik area over the weekend and the sixth man and the woman were arrested at Keflavik International Airport due to the vigilance of customs officers, Visir.is reports. Another man was arrested last Thursday.
Most of the people have come to police attention before for differing reasons. They are all Icelandic citizens and are aged in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, according to police.
i know a drug dealer they should all get the death penalty
Jajaja, icelanders don´t know about anything.
As the law draws the line, legal or not, death penalty or otherwise, there is money to be made in virtually everything. The questions – do you value life or do you dare to do it becomes obscure once you are pushed into doing it. BTW, there are tons of things out there worse than this being committed by a particular earth species called homo sapiens.
The idea of making easy money at the expense of others seems to be the mode just like the cause and collapsed of the banks. Lots of people have been badly affected, crippled, hopeless, homeless and jobless.
This is wrong and temporary solutions to a very hard problem. Honesty is still the best policy.
