Community service for Romanian man who transported over 600,000 smuggled cigarettes
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: The judge said it makes more sense to impose a community service order and adjourned the matter again pending a Probation Service report on whether he his is suitable to work in the community. Today Judge Ring noted the report concluded that Secrii is considered a suitable candidate for community service. "The State was at a potential serious loss," the judge remarked before she added that someone was going to make a significant profit from the enterprise.; Judge Mary Ellen Ring adjourned the matter last May having heard evidence to see if Secrii could pay a fine.
