Phnom Penh - A Cambodian court has sentenced a Taiwanese man to 20-years in jail after he was convicted of trying to smuggle 260 grams of heroin through Phnom Penh International Airport, a court official said Thursday. Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutor Kry Sok Y said Wang Tiensu, 50, was arrested on February 15 as he attempted to smuggle the drug onto a flight to Taipei packed in condoms which he had tied around his waist.
He said the man had admitted to being paid 3,000 dollars by unidentified Taiwanese in Cambodia to smuggle the drug, but so far the ringleaders have eluded police.
Tiensu was also fined 12,500 dollars. His trial was held on Tuesday, Sok Y said by telephone.
