Septuagenarian jailed for drugs offence after nearly 20 years on the run
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Rogerson had been due to face sentence in November 2006, but took a bench warrant and went to the Canary Islands, where he remained until his return to Ireland last Wednesday, March 8. Passing sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today, Judge Martin Nolan said Rogerson has lived a "relatively blameless life" since he left this jurisdiction.
