Three years in prison for taxi driver who smuggled drugs

Utrecht citizen arrested in international drug investigation

The man has previously been convicted of a drug case, but according to his lawyer, his life had improved. Two weeks ago, the lawyer therefore asked the court “not to be too harsh and to apply the human measure” to the suspect, who has been in pre-trial detention for eight months. He argued for a lesser sentence with a probation portion. The court did not agree, according to the verdict.
