Thailand is seeking the extradition of a woman accused of hiring a Thai flight attendant to carry heroin-filled bags to Australia, as authorities intensify efforts to dismantle a transnational drug trafficking network linked to a notorious drug kingpin in Myanmar’s Shan State.
The suspect, identified only as Chantra, is the person behind the Facebook account “Rose Rose”, which allegedly contacted and recruited a Thai Airways International flight attendant, Meena, through Facebook Messenger to transport bags concealing narcotics, said Pol Maj Gen Noppasit Mitpakdee, commander of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau's Division 1.
