A court in Japan has sentenced an Australian woman to six years in prison after finding her guilty of smuggling methamphetamine into the country, ignoring her claims that she had been the victim of an online romance scam.
Donna Nelson, from Perth, was found guilty of smuggling 2kg of the drug concealed beneath a false bottom in her suitcase when she arrived at Narita airport near Tokyo from Laos in January 2023.
