Australia has joined an international probe into a Canadian chef who has been charged in his homeland with selling a lethal substance online to vulnerable people all over the world.
The deaths of several Australians by suicide have been linked to a now global investigation into a Canadian chef who has been charged in his homeland with selling a lethal substance online to vulnerable people all over the world.
Australian customs law prohibits devices and documents relating to suicide, but the substance is not prohibited at the border under current regulations since it is, typically in diluted form, often used in food preparation. Where customs officers believe – usually through the assistance of international partners – that a particular product will be used for suicide, regulations apply, and it is stopped at the border.
“The ABF works with domestic and international law enforcement partners to prevent harmful materials reaching Australia,” a spokeswoman said. Investigators alleged he operated several companies to send packages including Imtime Cuisine, AmbuCA, ACademic, Escape Mode , and ICemac.reporter, who posed as a suicidal buyer, that people said he was doing “God’s work”. The newspaper reported the business was described by Law as an “avenue of escape”.Separately, Amazon is facing a lawsuit from families who allege the e-commerce giant knowingly sold “suicide kits”, including lethal substances and a book on suicide.
