Sotiris Christos Andreas, of The Ridgeway, Enfield, was caught when customs officers searched his car in Dover last September.They discovered 20 kilos of cocaine in a false floor which ran the length of the vehicle.Over 14 kilos of the cocaine were 100 per cent pure and the entire haul had a street value of £800,000 which would have increased significantly when cut by drug dealers.
Mr Andreas, who turned 50 two days before he was sentenced on Friday at Canterbury Crown Court, denied the charge of being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of the prohibition on importing a class A drug.Also convicted was Cypriot national Pavlos Petrou Andronicou, 61, who lived in St Ann's Road, Edmonton, before being sent to Belmarsh Prison where he is serving two and a half years for importing cannabis.He also denied the charge and received a 19-year sentence after being found guilty.
