Sentencing of €42m cocaine smugglers must be 'significant deterrent' both globally and nationally', judge says
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Kopravica received a sentence of 12 years, while Monks will serve ten years. Monks received the shortest sentence due to evidence that he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder having served in the British Army and later with a security firm in conflict zones, including in Iraq and Afghanistan.
