Seven men—including Peter Murray and William Sartin—were sentenced for their roles in a sophisticated drug smuggling operation, using an excavator to hide MDMA.
The digger was cleverly disguised to transport drugs from the UK to Australia, but their plot unraveled after border officials discovered the hidden substances.
National Crime Agency investigators utilized intercepted messages from the Encrochat platform, allowing them to unravel the group’s meetings and details surrounding the theft.
William Sartin received a 23-year sentence, adding to his extensive criminal history including previous smuggling offenses and conspiracy to cheat public revenue.
