The Court held the sentence was within the appropriate range applying the Abdallah tariff, the one‑year international enhancement and a full one‑third discount; the sentence of 14 years 4 months was neither wrong in principle nor manifestly excessive. On the forfeiture claim, assuming without deciding it had jurisdiction, the Court dismissed the application because the applicant withdrew her objection and personally confirmed consent to forfeiture after legal advice, so there was no error in making the forfeiture order.
