Authorities have charged a Danish woman who allegedly tried to mail
thousands of over-the-counter painkillers out of Cambodia with drug
smuggling, a judge said on April 11. Axelexen Johanne Vinther, 45, was
arrested at a post office in the Phnom Penh on April 9 as she tried to
send 10,761 tablets containing codeine in packages to the United States
and Canada, said security official Chhay Sinarith. The pills are
readily available in Phnom Penh, but codeine is a restricted drug in
most Western countries. “I have charged her with drugs trafficking,”
said Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Chan Sinath. Vinther faces 20
years in prison if convicted. (AFP)
