Two pensioners were duped into smuggling crystal meth into the UK inside bags of chocolate truffles by an international drug trafficker from Nigeria.
Tonny Ezeh, 51, convinced Heinz Magel, 80, and a 67-year-old man they were entitled to legitimate cash windfalls and they had to travel abroad to get paid.
Ezeh, who holds Nigerian, Canadian, and Jamaican passports, fooled the pair into carrying the drugs hidden in sweets into Britain for onward flights to Hong Kong.
The 67-year-old was stopped at Heathrow on October 18 and three days later Magel was stopped at the airport on a flight from Mexico City.
The German pensioners were unwittingly each carrying around three kilos of methamphetamine worth up to £300,000.
