Patrick Walsh and his accomplices were jailed for a total of 94 years
However she did not say how many accomplices there were.
If Walsh had 20 accomplices, that figure of 94 years would seem on the low side; conversely, if he had only two, it would seem rather high.
So it's almost meaningless to be told the number of years without also being told the number of accomplices.
(According to the East London Advertiser, Walsh had five accomplices.)
Incidentally, I was amused to hear the gang referred to as "international drug smugglers". Unless told otherwise, I assume that drug smugglers smuggle drugs from one country to another, making them by default "international".
But that's just my interpretation.
