Reading that article, this lad genuinely fucked his entire life.

Yeah, I thought 10 years at least. I suspect his co-accused will get longer based on his criminal background. I also suspect the “Businessman” will testify against his co-accused…which may have brought the sentence down a bit.

What involvement does his family still have to do with the garden centre now?

Good. Meth like Heroin it is a devastating drug. This guy wanted to get rich by poisoning his own communities so fuck him.

I have to say, at first I assumed this was not his first rodeo, and he was neck deep in the whole thing, but the more I understand about it, the more it seems he got pulled into this fucked up situation late in the game.
He was in fear of some gangster, and I can’t imagine the €150k was an enticement, given he owed millions to revenue & debtors. I am sure he deeply regrets not going to the guards when he was threatened, but it really doesn’t seem like he was a hardened criminal involved with an organised crime gang.
Still, it’s not surprising he got a long sentence. He still made the decision to go through with it.
The Crime World podcast episodes about it are worth a listen.
HA, delighted, he was a pompous prick before he even got involved, a coke head with money, throwing out bags of coke left and right and giving “loans” to young ones.
James was involved in that garden center for years, played him like a fool and the coke head he was.
I can’t imagine Mikey would be too happy that he is singing like a canary though.
It’s going to be a lonnngggg time in prison for a man like him, and he will be watching his back for the rest of his life if he gets out

He was stupid and deserves a prison sentence but lads walking free for dancing on people’s heads and kiddy fiddlers getting sentences shorter than this guy is fairly disgusting.

This bloke was also involved in the FG machine down there and there were rumours about him running to be a FG councillor prior to all of this.
Now, if it had been SF….

>The court took into account the “enormous personal consequences for him and his family,” the shame and stigma for him, his wife and three sons who are still in primary school and whose childhood he will miss.
So that fact that actions have consequences is now a mitigating factor?
Honestly, they come out with some absolute nonsense to reduce a sentence.

Is that 8 years potentially with good behaviour?
