Drug Smuggler Sentenced to Life


Mohamed Wasood Bisthaami (38) the Sri Lankan national who smuggled 4 kg of Brown Sugar (heroin) into the Maldives on March 2008 was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Criminal Court on Thursday. This case involved one of the biggest drug hauls ever in the Maldives.

Bisthami along with his female accomplice Sameen Ummul Faumiyya (56) flew in from Islamabad via Dubai carrying the 15 million rufiyaa cache of the contraband in five packets hidden in false bottoms fitted to their trolley bags and suitcases. Maldives Customs Service officers nabbed them at Male' International Airport in a special operation.

In the meanwhile Faumiyya (see photo above) has jumped bail and fled the country.

Now Anni says there aren't 6 ring leaders. He said it in a philosophical way, like we used to say 'ha ekka meehun' in Dhivehi. So guys, there won't be any arrests. Of course the president wasn't lying. He was just philosophical.

B***** was lying no macha? about those 6 drug lord.

No, b***** is trying to divert attention of the public by forming a bloody kangaroo court which has no legal authority. Now everyday they will pull Maumoon, Hameed, Yamin, blah blah, and people will get on to street, carnival time is back. None will talk about real issues, while people are on this the government will rape us.

Congrats mr President, you are smarter than Maumoon, or perhaps following the footsteps.
