Congressman Singson Sentenced To 18m Imprisonment

Philippine Congressman Ronald Singson was sentenced by a Hong Kong judge to 18 months imprisonment for bringing cocaine into the southern Chinese territory intended for his own use.

Rep. Ronald Singson was caught with 0.24 ounces (6.67 grams) of cocaine last July while transiting through Hong Kong's airport en route to the gambling enclave of Macau. He pleaded guilty to a charge of trafficking in a dangerous drug.

Under Hong Kong law, bringing drugs into the country can be defined as trafficking, in spite of the purpose. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment and a fine of 5 million Hong Kong dollars ($640,000).

Prosecutors had challenged Singson's claim that the drugs were intended for his own consumption.
