Jailed Melbourne drug kingpin Rocco Arico has had his prison sentence reduced by two years.
A jailed Melbourne drug kingpin has had a small win in court after his prison term for drug trafficking was reduced on appeal.
Rocco Arico was jailed last year for 14 years, with a minimum of 10 years, for extortion, intentionally causing injury, possessing a firearm and drug trafficking.
He appealed against his sentence, and the Court of Appeal on Thursday found Arico's sentence for drug trafficking was manifestly excessive and cut his jail term by two years, with a new minimum period of nine years.
