Heffa Posted November 21, 2011 http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8377312 A Darwin man has been given $100,000 compensation after he was wrongly accused of bringing drugs into Australia in shampoo and conditioner bottles. Neil Parry was arrested in June last year at Darwin Airport and charged with trafficking 1.6 kilograms of liquid ecstasy in two bottles of Pantene. After spending three days in jail last year, and having friends' homes searched, Mr Parry was granted bail. Customs later admitted the toiletries contained no illegal drugs andall charges against Mr Parry were dropped. On Monday Mr Parry told ABC Radio he had been given $100,000 in compensation for his ordeal and an apology. "It is not worth it, no," Mr Parry said. "I would rather it never happened," he said. He said most of the money would go towards his legal expenses. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8377312 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten Posted November 21, 2011 What did he have then? No drugs at all. These tests are VERY inaccurate and go off to all sorts of other compounds, especially if applied without enough skill. Same thing happened to a friend of mine and an ex member of this forum, but his lawyer advised that it would cost more in legal fees than what he would likely get in compensation.
