Kim Low Swee, who arrived in Ireland from Malaysia, was found carrying 19kg of cannabis valued at €380,000, prompting a two-year prison sentence for possession.
Customs officials grew suspicious of Low Swee, who claimed to not know the suitcase's lock combination despite packing it himself, leading to the discovery of illegal drugs.
Low Swee, in his defense, stated he thought he was transporting bird nests, a delicacy, and had done similar work before, highlighting his financial desperation.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Low Swee was motivated by financial struggles after losing his job due to the pandemic, acknowledging prior involvement in similar activities.
