A total of 21 people in French Polynesia have been sentenced in the territory's biggest methamphetamine smuggling case.
The main person in the so-called Kikilove affair Andre Tiniraurii and his associate Rautahi Voiron were each given an eight year prison sentence.
They were also fined $US23 million.
The main convict worked as a guide and used travellers from the United States to unwittingly import the banned drug.
Voiron was a former airport security officer.
30 kilograms of methamphetamine was imported from the US, using a complex system which allowed the methamphematine crystals to remain undected when bags were x-rayed.
