Well, they are your words not mine.
It is of course common sense to suggest that someone with ties in a country will have a head start. If I was going to set up a drug smuggling operation, the first port of call would be to find a local dodgy contact with an in-depth knowledge of a country where the drugs are easily available.
Using someone with family in that country is onbviously an advantage for cover. As there doesn't appear to be many people emigrating to these known drug countries from the UK, it would be unlikely to work the other way around.
If we were talking about European drug smuggling I would think it less likely to be family related and possibly tourist related, but lets be fair not many UK residents go on package trips to pop over to Afghnistan or Pakistan for a holiday, or do they.
