Martin Wanden was resentenced to 23 years for a cocaine haul by the Court of Appeal on 30 July 2019.

He had been convicted at Cork Circuit Criminal Court over the €440 million drugs operation off west Cork in 2007.

The three-judge appeal court found the original sentence disproportionate, while recognising Wanden’s major operational involvement.
