Chinanews, Guangzhou, Nov. 22 – On Tuesday, the Guangzhou Intermediate1 People's Court judged a cross-border drug trafficking case that invovled one overseas Chinese Canadian and three others in China. By collecting money in China, the four drug traffickers used it to buy some cocaine2 in Panama,from there, the cocaine was packaged with white sugar to be shipped to Toronto, Canada. During the shipping3, however, the drugs were discovered and conficated in New York, the Guangzhou Daily reported.
In August 2006, the four criminal suspects, Huang Zhi Yong, 28, an overseas Chinese Canadian, Huang Weijun, 39, a native of Taishan, Guangdong Province, Chen Weixiong and Chen Hui (the last two were handled in a separate case), gathered in a coffee bar discussing how to buy, ship and sell the drugs.
They finally decided4 that Chen Weixiong would buy the cocaine and Huang Zhi Yong would remit5 the money to Panama, where Chen Hui would buy the cocaine and ship it to Canada. Later, Cheng Weixiong collected 80,000 US dollars and he handed the money to Huang Zhi Yong. From November 2006 to January 2007, Huang Zhi Yong and Huang Weijun came to an underground bank in Guangzhou's Huadu District several times, where the two suspects remitted6 100,820 US dollars to Chen Hui in Panama. There Chen Hui used the money to buy some cocaine and he then packaged the cocaine into some containers, claiming to local customs office that he was trying to ship some white sugar to Canada. In order to keep himself informed of the latest development of the matter, Chen Weixiong, who knew nothing about computers, told Huang Zhi Yong and Chen Hui to contact each other by email.
On January 6, 2007, when the cocaine was shipped to New York, local police detected the drugs in the containers. The drugs, weighing 24,500.4 grams, were later confirmed by police to be cocaine. Police in New York then reported the case to Canadian police. And Canadian police arrested the suspects in Canada when they were delivering drugs. On January 17, 2007, Chinese police arrested Huang Zhi Yong and Huang Weijun, who were lying low in Yingde, Guangdong.
