An airport worker has been jailed for six years after picking up a portion of €1m worth of cocaine in a toilet cubicle in order to bypass custom and move the drugs out of the airport.

Bruno Farias (31) and his co-worker Jocelino De Silva (44) picked up the drugs from the cubicle after a third co-accused Lucas Farias (27), carried just under 15kg of cocaine, valued at just over €1m, from Brazil in his suitcase.
