Drug trafficking is a sophisticated, multi-tens-of-$bn international industry run by intelligent, ruthless people.

Whenever something like this happens, the people at risk of getting caught seem somewhat 'disposable'. (huge bias involved of course - the competent ones aren't caught anywhere near as often)
