So how much will MSC be charged for this under the new stupid law that says the carrier will be fined for all illegal items shipped into the country?

25% of the value, $1.25 Mil right? No, they won't be charged, that rule is designed to penalize Bahamian businesses.

That was the distraction- I bet you ten times that amount got through. The 70s and 80s are back!

Just looking at More like this story articles above there is roughly $9,000,000. somewhere to have purchased these drugs. Excellent our officers can find these drugs but focus should be on finding the money to buy.
