Court of Appeal reviews the case of an individual sentenced by the Circuit Criminal Court for money laundering and possession of drugs with intent to supply, and upholds the original sentence of 9 years' imprisonment, with the final 12 months suspended, on the grounds that there was no error in the headline sentence, considering the early guilty plea and other mitigating factors; and the discount provided was within the appropriate range, even though the plea was entered at an early stage.
