Guilty was found guilty this morning by the Court of Cassation that met in Nicosia, George Christodoulou Zavranton, on two charges of possession and possession with intent to supply 15 kilograms of cocaine.
He was acquitted of the two other conspiracy charges he faced.
In July 2019, Yiannis Andreou from Nicosia was convicted in the case and sentenced to 16 years in prison for possession with intent to supply. He had admitted to keeping the quantity of drugs in question (15 kg and 16.4 g of cocaine) in his home.
For the same case, Aristides Kyprianou was sentenced to 8 years in prison. The latter was found outside Andreou's home with 14 of the 15 kilos of drugs.

Then, Andreou gave willful testimony naming Zavrandon and presenting him as the "mastermind" of the case. He had claimed that he had stored and separated drugs on his behalf. Thus, a case was registered against the 45-year-old and the 37-year-old was placed in a witness protection program.
A plea date for mitigation was set for January 14.
