Bartosz Kargul, 26, was detained by officers from the newly-formed UK Border Agency (UKBA) after arriving on a flight from Brussels in May. Kargul, from Lublin, in Poland, was sentenced at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday after attempting to smuggle over half a kilo of cocaine with a street value of £23,741 into the country by concealing it on his body. He pleaded guilty last month.HMRC assistant director of investigation in Scotland, Anne-Marie Gordon, said: "Today's case sends another significant warning. Smugglers face criminal prosecution followed by the removal of any financial benefits." Kargul's sentence has been backdated to May 1, for time spent on remand.
