Leader of €440m cocaine plot jailed for 20 years
Stephen Dennis Brown, aged 45, pleaded guilty to the smuggling operation, which fell apart at sea during a botched handover off Dunlough Bay, near Mizen Head, Co Cork.
In 2007, a gang of career criminals had conspired to bring 62 bales of high- grade cocaine on ocean- going catamaran Lucky Day from Barbados to waters off West Cork.
