‘Frail’ Brit, 79, faces time in Chile prison after crystal meth found in luggage

A 79-year-old British man was arrested in Chile for attempting to smuggle over five kilos of methamphetamine, hidden in a suitcase with a false bottom, valued at £200,000. He claimed he was unaware of the drugs’ presence and was promised a £3,000,000 reward for delivering the suitcase from Cancun to Australia. The man is currently detained in Santiago and faces a potential prison sentence, with initial reports suggesting 15 years, though legal experts believe a five-year sentence is more likely if convicted.
