The operation, involving 200kg of drugs worth over $30 million, collapsed when police intercepted the shipment during a high-stakes daylight raid at the port. Though Daniels wasn’t present during the heist, he was on the phone directing the flow of drugs once recovered. Despite his lawyer’s plea for leniency—highlighting harsh prison conditions and his children living overseas—the judge refused to reduce his sentence, citing Daniels’ ongoing gang loyalty and high-risk classification. He’ll now serve his full term, a stark reminder of the consequences of leading one of New Zealand’s most serious drug conspiracies.
