British authorities have sentenced an Albanian student, who had entered the UK on a tourist visa, to 20 months in prison.

He was caught growing cannabis on a large farm in the northeast of England.

Musa Qaushi, 20, was arrested after police discovered a cannabis farm at a flat in Ivanhoe Crescent, Sunderland. 351 cannabis plants were found spread across four grow rooms.

The seized drugs had an estimated street value of up to £88,500, the court heard. The prosecution said Qaushi had acted as a “resident gardener”, looking after the plants and growing facilities in exchange for payment and accommodation.

Media reports say that at the hearing at Newcastle Crown Court, Judge Edward Bindloss said that Qaushi had an important role in the operation of the farm.

"You were cultivating cannabis while playing the role of resident gardener. You were being paid for this role and were also provided with accommodation," the judge said.

The court learned that Qaushi is a student at a university in Tirana and is in the second year of a five-year study program.

He had no criminal record and, according to the defense, had only been on the cannabis farm for a few days.

His lawyer, Mairi Clancy, said her client was remorseful and emotionally affected by the situation.

However, the judge rejected the argument that he was simply naive. According to him, the scale of the operation showed that Qaushi was aware of the activity he was involved in.

He added that these types of activities cannot function without people who take care of the cultivation of the plants and that this was precisely Qaushi's role, even though he may not have had any influence over the other people involved.

After sentencing him to 20 months in prison, the judge stated that he expected British authorities to initiate procedures for his deportation as a person convicted of a criminal offense./ chroniclelive
