Five drug couriers were arrested at Sydney airport in 2015 after nearly 40 kilograms of cocaine was found in their suitcases. Each was sentenced to significant prison time. The Australian court heard the packages were for a Mexican drug cartel. Pastukhov is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 31. The prosecution was seeking a 12-year prison term. |  |
