Fentanyl smuggling couple jailed for over 9 years
A couple who imported the drug fentanyl have been jailed for nine years and six months.
Justice Emma Peters told the Grand Court that Renae Hamilton – who Peters said was the “brains of the operation” – and Dorman Salmon had imported the drug to Cayman knowing the grim toll of lives it had claimed in the US and Canada.
She said the pair had “amassed criminal property which they then money laundered by sending it overseas, usually to America or Jamaica” and that some of the cash was moved by unwitting third parties.
Hamilton and Salmon were sentenced after they were found guilty by a jury on two charges – importation of 51 fentanyl tablets, weighing 5.2 grams, and money laundering of $70,000.
The two also pleaded guilty in a summary case to importing of 3.3lbs of ganga.
