Always been the way the authorities seem to take it personally when you rip them off but scar someone for life who they don’t know and they couldn’t give a toss

The name sounds something like he’s a Dutch national ?.In which case I’m surprised that his national authorities didn’t make a formal protest on exactly those grounds also bearing in mind the admission of guilt.It seems obvious that deportation and a banning order from the country with an agreed reasonable sentence to be served in the home country would have been more proportional.

You get less than that for stabbing someone

Why would he admit to bringing in similar amounts in previous journeys? Obviously he’s a bit of a blunt instrument!

To be fair that is quite a few tabs he’s bringing in there. 146 million is a few quids worth of tax going up in smoke :smiley: see what I did there?

what gets me is the bbc says he runs a company in Belgium,surely that should have read HE RAN A COMPANY in Belgium,cos unless he has other people to run it he is out of business

don’t forget the customs will have their little cut,a few free cigarettes,if people believe it or not it must go on, even customs are not 100% honest,[I could be wrong]

So much with the good old fine Dutch drivers :laughing:

Get less for being a ■■■■■ or for ■■■■/■■■■■■ assault. ■■■■■■■ law stinks.

He is not dutch, but belgian.
His father closed the company and filed bankruptcy in december 2014, about 3 or 4 weeks after his second mishap.
It was this firm, specialising on Norway.

I know from experience there is more than a grain of truth in there :smiley:

It’s not like me bringing in a few extra pouches from Tenerife for personal use, he’s making thousands. Got what he deserved. And with the quantities we’re looking at here it’s obviously part of a bigger criminal racket, most probably involving drugs.
