He came from Abkhazia and due to financial difficulties he became a steamer for transporting drugs. According to today's publication of the newspaper "Phileleftheros", the 28-year-old Georgian was caught by the Police and yesterday was sentenced to five years in prison by a decision of the permanent Criminal Court of Nicosia. This is a 28-year-old Georgian who on 7/7/2017 in Liopetri in the province of Famagusta and in Xylofagou on the territory of the British Bases, had in his possession 600 grams of cocaine.
The Court stressed yesterday in its decision that it does not escape its attention that, according to the undisputed position of the defense counsel, the accused was not the person in charge.
However, the court noted that even the role of the carrier is important in an illegal drug trafficking activity. "Unfortunately, the existence and willingness of individuals, such as the accused", is emphasized in the decision, "for the execution of such instructions gives the impetus to the protagonists and traffickers of any drug trafficking to use such persons for this illegal purpose, without revealing themselves. in any way.
The dire financial situation of the accused made him vulnerable to the lure of any financial benefit he would derive from this action, completely ignoring the damage that this illegal activity would cause to the buyers and users of drugs. Hence, he agreed to make the disputed transfer for the sum of € 500, which was his benefit in exchange for his own involvement ".
