Anyone named Martin Neil? the rest all seem to be from that land of milk & honey named the EU. Do you reckon we will deport them at the end of their sentence?Fifteen suitcases of the drug were found at Farnborough Airport in January on a plane returning from Columbia.
Allessandro Iembo, Martin Neil, Victor Franco-Lorenzo and Jose Ramon Miguelez-Botas claimed they were unaware of the cases' contents.
Border Force officers said the haul was one of the largest they had dealt with.
Italian national Iembo, 28, and Neil, 49, from Bournemouth, and Spanish co-defendants Franco-Lorenzo, 40, and Miguelez-Botas, 56, were found guilty of fraudulent evasion of a prohibition in relation to a class A controlled drug, between 30 October last year and 30 January.
Neil's brother, Stephen, who was also on trial, was found not guilty of the charge.
Martin Neil, Iembo and Franco-Lorenzo were jailed for 24 years each, while Miguelez-Botas was given 20 years by Judge Philip Shorrock. -
