Swansea Crown Court heard that Semmens and the other defendants were connected with trafficking large quantities of cocaine into South Wales. Semmens was also previously filmed spilling cocaine on the gravestone of infamous drug lord, Pablo Escobar while on a trip to South America in 2018. Botto also pleaded guilty to a separate conspiracy to supply cocaine while White also previously admitted conspiracy to import cannabis. Semmens previously revealed that he had been chucked out of Colombia by police for sniffing cocaine off Escobar's grave even though he tried to go unnoticed by changing his appearance. Judge Huw Rees said the defendants had been involved in the commercial-scale trafficking and dealing of the cocaine.
