Pierre Goulet

Pierre Goulet was arrested in June 2006 following a covert investigation that uncovered his role in a wide-reaching scam to import cocaine through the Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport.<br />Goulet initially pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking, money laundering, possession of the proceeds of crime, conspiracy and conspiracy to import drugs.<br />But he agreed to change his plea to guilty on most of those counts in exchange for the Crown dropping the more serious charges of conspiracy to import cocaine.<br />His sentence, handed out Friday by Quebec court Judge Sylvie Durand at the Montreal courthouse, takes into account time served before Goulet was released on bail.<br />He had 14 years experience on the Montreal police force when drug squad investigators were tipped off about him by American authorities.<br />His arrest created concerns about security at the airport and prompted Montreal police chief Yvan Delorme to insist Goulet had acted outside his hours of duty.
