Raj Matharu, a 31-year-old Indian-origin man from California, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for attempting to smuggle 32.4kg of methamphetamine soaked into clothing, including a cow-print pajama onesie. He was intercepted while boarding a flight to Sydney, Australia, after X-ray scans revealed irregularities in his luggage. Matharu has been charged with possession and intent to distribute methamphetamine. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and a maximum life sentence in federal prison. US Attorney Martin Estrada emphasized law enforcement's commitment to combating creative drug trafficking methods that endanger global communities.
