P119 CEEFAX 119 Thu 13 Jan 21:15/42 HOME COCAINE SMUGGLER GETS 24 YEARS Businessman Joseph Kassar has been jailed for 24 years for his part in a cocaine-smuggling plot. Mr Justice May rejected defence pleas that key figures in the international drugs plot were given only 14 years in the Netherlands.
