High-profile racehorse owner Damion Flower has been jailed for at least 17 years for smuggling a massive amount of pure cocaine into Australia.
The former airport baggage handler played a "significant managerial and organisational role" in the importation of 228 kilograms of the drug, Judge Sarah Huggett said on Friday.
At the time of his arrest in May 2019, Flower was a darling of racing, having risen from blue-collar roots to prominence with Group One-winning horse Snitzel.
