Google both "Project Harrington" and "Operation Harrington" to see how there were two phases of the investigation. The latter phase yields more information about the actors, countries involved, and so on.

See the map a bit farther below to see how complicated the operations were.

The Colombian was extradited from Colombia to Quebec, where he has been detained for more than two years. He is due to be sentenced on September 28 on a charge of conspiracy to import cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, a charge to which he pleaded guilty last Friday. A man from Nova Scotia, who was also arrested in relation to Project Harrington, pleaded guilty in Montreal last year to a charge of importing cocaine--he received a sentence of 8.5 years.
