Three airport workers were convicted by a jury of conspiracy to import and importing 30 kilos of cocaine.
They used their security clearance to facilitate the importation by retrieving a specific cargo container.
The court found their moral culpability exceeded that of mere couriers due to the breach of trust and threat to airport security.
After considering the significant delay in bringing the case to trial and their exemplary conduct on bail, the court sentenced each accused to 11 years' imprisonment.
