A person can be guilty even if they never physically carry the drugs, such as arranging transport or funding the importation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Only if part of a group

Answer: (A)

You can be guilty even if you never handle the drugs because liability extends to those who assist, encourage, or arrange the crime. In UK law, someone who helps to bring about a drug offence—whether by organizing transport, financing the importation, or otherwise facilitating the plan—can be charged as an accomplice or as part of a conspiracy. The crime isn’t limited to the person who physically possesses the drugs; the important factors are the intention to commit the offence and the action taken to enable it. If you set up the transport or provide the money that makes the importation possible, you are participating in the offence and can be found guilty. So the statement is true.
