During sentencing Judge Turnbull said that Poo had a difficult upbringing.

‘She’s had to fend for herself without advantage or opportunity’ stating that her intentions were more complex than purely financial gain,’ she said.  

Julian Martusciello, a former banker and drug dealer, was jailed alongside Poo for 18 months for supplying her with 213 of the MDMA capsules. 

Martusciello sobbed in court as he was jailed and shouted apologies to his mother and father. 

Poo had also smuggled 1,000 capsules into Sydney’s Defqon.1, festival where two partygoers suffered fatal overdoses on MDMA in 2018.
