Court Overturns Ruling, Awards Full Compensation to Tuk-Tuk Driver

The driver hauled them to the High Court because he knew...

Information Minister Emma Theofelus broke the news after top officials met earlier. The ban stays active until April 2026 when experts finish studying the whole mess. A small team of seven people will figure out which dead people deserve expensive sendoffs. Money troubles sparked the funeral freeze after costs exploded out of control.

Critics have complained about wasteful spending since...

Colombian Authorities Seize Drug Smuggler's Boat Using SpaceX Starlink Internet
Colombian police caught drug dealers using Elon Musk's internet service on their boats. The navy grabbed a remote-controlled submarine that smugglers use to move cocaine across the ocean. Drug gangs love these robot boats because nobody goes to jail when cops catch them. The criminals just lose their expensive boat and walk away free. SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet helps them steer these vessels from far away. The empty boat could carry three thousand pounds of illegal drugs across the water. Authorities have seized ten similar vessels during this year alone. A flat internet dish sat right on top of the submarine when officers found it.
