Crime boss Petko Zhutev, aged 39, was sentenced to 27 years after his role in a substantial drug importation operation was exposed, leading to multiple arrests and lengthy prison terms for his accomplices.
Judge Rebecca Trowler emphasized the severity of the case, labeling Zhutev as a leading figure in the importation and highlighting his previous criminal history, which included fraudulent activities.
The verdict of the court not only punished Zhutev but also affected his associates like Erik Muci, described as a key organiser, who received a total of 33 years for his involvement.
The operation involved detailed roles filled by the defendants, with Muci managing cocaine trafficking on a commercial scale and Ebeja facilitating logistics, showcasing a structured criminal network.
