The application for leave to appeal against the sentence was refused because the sentence of 12 years and 9 months was not wrong or manifestly excessive: the judge correctly adopted the tariff starting point (18 years 2 months), enhanced it for an international element (to 19 years 2 months) and properly applied a one‑third discount for early plea; poverty and claimed coercion do not warrant further reduction in a serious trafficking case.
