Footage taken aboard the yacht shows the extent of the haul
A gang leader and his son who used a luxury yacht to smuggle cocaine with a street value of 300m into the UK from Venezuela have been jailed.
The pair, from the Netherlands, hid a tonne of cocaine in a deep compartment specially designed for smuggling.
The haul - one of the UK's biggest drugs seizures - was located by border officers in Southampton last year.
The men were jailed along with a third man, but the gang leader's other son was acquitted after a trial.
Defendants referred to in court only as Klaas L, Robert L and Mohamed Z were convicted of being involved in the transportation of cocaine.
Their co-accused, Arjan L, 35, was acquitted of the same charge.
Klaas L, 61, owner of the yacht, was jailed for seven years; Mohamed Z, 45, for eight years; and Robert L, 33, who was also convicted of possession of a firearm, for five years following a trial in Rotterdam.
