Alone, Dario Antonio Baruca faces five counts of importing a controlled substance and two counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking.

Baruca allegedly also imported opium into Vancouver in October and December of 2017.
Together with Aiden Joseph O‘Brien, Baruca is charged with four offences.
Both men were due before the court on Feb. 8 for a pre-trial conference with appearances set of October.
All alleged offences are under the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
