Recommended Posts

A DRUG dealer arrested when authorities busted a major drugs ring has been sentenced to five years' jail.

 

Graeme Anthony Keating, 42, pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking cannabis and one count of supplying methamphetamine.

 

In the Queensland Supreme Court today, Justice John Byrne sentenced Keating to five years in jail but ordered the sentence be suspended after 18 months.

 

Keating is one of the last people to be charged as part of Operation Soho in which a total of 57 people were arrested and charged and nearly $7 million in assets seized.

 

Almost $4 million in property was seized from Gold Coast drug boss Charles Edward Cannon, who was jailed for 15 years in November 2005.

 

More than 100 personnel were involved in Operation Soho, including Queensland Police and officers from Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission and the Australian Crime Commission.

 

Ahh damm they love those seizor laws don't they!!
