Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutor Kry Sok Y said Wang Tiensu, 50, was arrested on Feb. 15 as he attempted to smuggle the drug onto a flight to Taipei packed in condoms which he had tied around his waist.

He said the man had admitted to being paid US$3,000 by unidentified Taiwanese in Cambodia to smuggle the drug, but so far the ringleaders have eluded police.

Tiensu was also fined US$12,500. His trial was held on Tuesday, Sok Y said by telephone.
