Sentenced for large-scale cocaine import

Roberta Maciel De Góes and Spyridon Chinopoulos have been sentenced to three years in prison for their involvement in importing over 2.5 kilograms of cocaine into Iceland. The Court of Appeal upheld the prior ruling from the Reykjanes District Court, confirming that the pair jointly orchestrated the importation of 2,503 grams of cocaine with the intent to distribute and profit.

The narcotics were discovered concealed internally when the two individuals arrived on a flight from Alicante, Spain, to Keflavík. Roberta was found with 1,124.45 grams, while Spyridon carried 1,379.26 grams. Although both admitted to transporting the drugs, they denied acting together in the importation.

However, the Court of Appeal determined that their collaboration in the crime was proven, holding both fully responsible for the offense. Consequently, the three-year prison sentences were confirmed, and the cocaine was confiscated.
