Heroin granny blames devil
January 19, 2007

A GRANDMOTHER was yesterday sentenced to at least four years in prison after admitting to smuggling $350,000 worth of heroin into Australia in her underwear.

The 59-year-old Iraqi-born pensioner, who is illiterate, told her family she was holidaying in New Zealand, but instead she travelled to Vietnam.


While there she was allegedly approached by an Australian woman at a KFC restaurant and asked to take something back to Australia for $20,000.

Fawzieh Nona Danial claimed she did not know what was in the packages hidden between two pairs of underpants. They contained 94 grams of pure heroin.

Her lawyer, Brae Antcliffe, said the packages might have contained jewellery or diamonds, but the District Court judge Christopher Geraghty said it could not have escaped Danial's knowledge the items were "undoubtedly drugs".

Danial, who was described as a "loving mother" of five and "an active and involved grandmother", told customs officers when apprehended the devil had taken her over.

Grandma jailed for smuggling heroin

An Iraqi-born grandmother who was caught trying to smuggle heroin into Australia in her underwear was yesterday jailed for up to six years. New Zealand citizen Fawzieh Nona Danial, 58 was arrested after arriving in Sydney on a flight from Vietnam in March last year after authorities found four packages of the drug in her underclothes. Police said the packages contained 239gm of heroin that she told customs officers a Vietnamese woman in a fast-food outlet had asked her to carry to Sydney in return for $19,600 (BD7, 382). Danial, who lives in Sydney, had pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to import a marketable quantity of heroin into Australia. She will be eligible for parole in 2011.
 
I'm surprised they didn't call her a Kiwi. This is a typical trick of refugees and others - stay in NZ long enough (and courtesy of the NZ taxpayer) to get NZ citizenship before debunking for Australia.
