Prosecutors have indicted Raj Matharu, a Los Angeles man, for attempting to smuggle more than 30 pounds of methamphetamine onto an Australia-bound flight from LAX. The drugs were hidden in clothing, with an estimated weight of 15-20 kilograms when separated. Matharu was caught during a security screening at the airport. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada praised law enforcement for intercepting the illicit contraband. Matharu faces a federal charge of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on December 2. If convicted, he could face a prison term of 10 years to life. Law enforcement is committed to combating drug trafficking and the harmful impact it has on communities worldwide. Matharu’s attempt to smuggle methamphetamine in clothing demonstrates the innovative methods that drug dealers are using to evade detection and profit from illegal activities. The case highlights the dedication of law enforcement in preventing drug trafficking and the associated risks to public health and safety.
