WHY DIDNT HE TAKE A NOTE FROM A POLITICIAN TO PASS CUSTOMS. ONLY POLITICIANS DONT COME UNDER CUSTOMS OR OTHER STATUTORY REGULATIONS.

POOR GUY.
HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A LETTER FROM THE PM OFFICE.

It is inconceivable that this plethora of gold and gem smuggling started only of late. Were they once allowed to pass through with a nod and a wink?
