A "disgraced" drug trafficker started selling methamphetamine in Canberra because of the "unique effects" of the coronavirus pandemic, his lawyer has told a court.
Malaysian man Chee Seng Er, 37, was sentenced in the ACT Supreme Court on Monday to nine-and-a-half months in jail.
Despite having already served all of that time and more on remand, Er remains behind bars ahead of a possible deportation.
