Lucas Farias, 27, carried just under 15kg of cocaine from Brazil in his suitcase, while Jocelino De Silva, 44, a corporate lounge manager, and Bruno Farias, 31, a catering assistant, both men employed by contractors at the airport, picked up portions of the drugs in a toilet cubicle and used employee swipe cards to move them through staff entrances.
