Lower sentence sought over role in €440m drugs haul
Perry Wharrie, aged 56, was given what his lawyers have described as the “highest sentence in the history of he State” for his role in the record €440m drugs haul at Dunlough Bay on the Mizen Peninsula, West Cork, on July 2, 2007.
In July last year, the Court of Criminal Appeal found a judge had erred in sentencing Wharrie to 30 years imprisonment.
