    Sese Vimahi , was jailed for almost 15 years in February, for his leading role in a botched attempt to smuggle 20 kilos of meth, in 2020.

    Despite losing his job, Vimahi organised two successful meth imports while on bail, with colleagues on flights from Los Angeles in 2021.

    Messages obtained by Police indicate they were to split a 200-thousand-dollar payment for each successful import.

    Vimahi was arrested again in November 2021, and is due to be sentenced in June.
