A Filipino intercepted by Customs officers at the Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, was jailed today for a total of two years, two months and five days and fined $200 after he pleaded guilty at the District Court to four charges, including drug trafficking.
Domingo Nunag, a 58-year-old Chinese citizen who requested a
Tagalog interpreter in court, has been detained since he was arrested on May 17
last year. He was denied bail at Eastern Court where his case was
initially heard, until it was elevated to the District Court.
Customs officers arrested Nunag at the Customs Hall of the
Macau Ferry Terminal on his arrival from Macau last May 17 after they found in his possession 2.47 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu or
ice) contained in four ziploc plastic bags.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of trafficking in dangerous
drugs, in violation of Section 4 (1)(a) and (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance,
and was sentenced by Judge Isaac Tam to two years and two months in Jail.
After a sildenafil (Viagra) tablet was found in his
possession, Nunag was also charged wth violating the Phamacy and Poisons Ordinance,
for which he was jailed for 10 days, from which Judge Tam took three days to add
to the first sentence.
His third conviction came after he pleaded guilty to importing
goods to which Section 17(6) of the Dutiable Goods Ordinance applies.

Customs officers had found a two-liter bottle of whisky and 40
pieces of dutiable cigarettes in his luggage. For this, Judge Tam jailed him
for eight days, two of whch will be added to the first sentence.
Since he did not declare these two items upon arrival, he
was also slapped with a charge of failing to declare them to a member of the
Customs and Excise Service, also in violation of the Dutiable Goods Ordinance, for
which he was fined $200.
