7 years prison?
Dutch authorities claim lack of cell space. Swallowers are rutinely let go.
Frustrating for the police, frustrating for the crews that "import" them.
The Dutch public is now asking the authorities why the swallowers can not be accomodated 2 to a prisoncell, as this would in most cases still be far superior accomodation to what the mules are used to at home.
Being let lose in the streets of Amsterdam isn't exactly deterring these traffickers.
A hefty prison sentence might.
