    Customs found almost 20 kilos of meth in a carry-on at Auckland Airport in 2020 -- worth about eight-million-dollars.

    The former baggage handler used musician Romney Fukofuka as a mule to put the bag on a luggage carousel, to be retrieved by colleagues.

    Three baggage handlers have already been sentenced to a year of home detention, and Fukofuka was sentenced to seven years in prison.
