Let me get this right. CP transport NZD$10M in 12 ordinary-looking, mail-type bags, travelling like regular luggage - with no security guards, and no tracking devices inserted in them. They let them get outside of surveillance areas, and they never check what staff are lugging home. No doubt, next we'll hear about some manager who went to university and gained a degree in management and security skills, who was the incompetent in charge of the shipment. You couldn't make this up, it's like a skit from Keystone Cops.

it's probably standard practice these days for laundered Chinese money.

Has this been forwarded to the profit sharing scheme managers?


They will no doubt be interested in this "loss" for next years payout!!

Nothing compared to what the fuel hedging guy and the freight cartel guys have lost. I must remember to do my bribery/corruption course on learners world, when is that due again? If i don't pass, does that mean I cant fly to our Northern ports anymore?
