The accused, a trucking dispatcher, was found guilty of importing 50 kilograms of cocaine and conspiracy to import cocaine.
The Crown sought 13 to 15 years imprisonment, while the defence sought 9 to 12 years.
The court considered the significant quantity of cocaine, the accused's role in directing an unknowing driver, and his lack of a criminal record.
The court sentenced the accused to 12 years for importing and 9 years for conspiracy, to be served concurrently, less 104 days of pre-sentence and Downes credit, resulting in a net sentence of 11 years and 261 days.
