A quarantine officer in Samoa, Junior Patau, has been jailed for three years and eight months after he was found guilty in an assessor trial a month ago.
The former officer was charged by the police after customs officers who were on duty at the Faleolo International airport in December last year found contraband of methamphetamine drug in a luggage the defendant had claimed.
During the trial, the police said the luggage came on unaccompanied and the defendant was at the airport to uplift it.
