Six men appeared for sent-encing yesterday after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh last month.
They included Stephen Donald, 54, who has extensive business interests in property and publishing. He had no previous convictions.
The court had heard that Donald helped arrange a clandestine meeting in a lay-by where heroin worth £24,350 was passed between two other men, Andrew Sellars and convicted murderer George Brodie.
