The salami smuggler
PERTH,
DEC. 23.
A Swiss student has been fined A$4,000 (about Rs.1.36 lakhs) for trying to smuggle a salami into Australia. Dylan Pascal Graves, studying English in Western Australia, was caught with 400 gm of salami meat in his luggage at Perth International Airport in November. Australia has strict quarantine laws, and customs officials inspect all incoming flights for agricultural pests and food that could carry diseases. Sniffer dogs patrol airport terminals and luggage is passed through X-ray machines. Mr. Graves had told customs officials twice that he was not carrying any food. Asked why he had not declared the salami, he said he had planned to eat it.
