    From my extensive knowledge of Indian smuggling law, I suspect he may or may not do time.

    Apparently gold smuggling into India happens because of a recent rise in the cost of government duty on imports of gold. The smuggled gold tends to be used for making jewellery.

    Smuggling law and Indian tax law... this is definitely one to watch. There goes my working day...

    He's Irish we should demand he be released immediately as other counties laws are illegitimate. How many consular visits has he had so far ?

    I bet he's from County Dehli/Londondehli (in case any unionists are in the thread)

    No he looks like he actually committed a crime in another country, unlike a non-crime here.

    Not to derail the thread but if there were a crime committed here it would be investigated here.

    Anyone think he will do time for this?

    If you time counts as being mauled to death by white tigers than yes, yes he will do time.
