91 Year Old Pensioner Faces Smuggling Charges After Being Caught With 4.5Kg Of Cocaine

This man could become the world's oldest drug mule. 

Victor Twartz, 91, was caught with 4.5 kilograms of cocaine in his luggage at an airport in Sydney, Australia.

Twartz denies knowledge of the drug and says he is a victim of a scam. 

He says that he met two people in Delhi, who asked him to carry 27 packs of powdered soap for them, and insists that he checked the packages for drugs before his flight to Sydney.

He said:

"I looked carefully what was in the soap.

I scraped it and it was certainly soap but there was these streaks of white stuff in between.

I thought it was additional perfume or that was the style of soap.

I am 1,000% against any drug. I don’t even drink alcohol."

Currently released on bail, he is due to appear in court again in October. If convicted, he faces a life sentence.

The jury may have a difficult time with this one.
