After deliberating for just over eight hours, jurors reached a decisive verdict.
During the trial, it was revealed that Calverley had been offered a staggering $10 million to transport a camp bed from Laos to Australia.
Commonwealth prosecutor Sheridan Goodwin informed the jury that the camp bed concealed approximately 2.5 kilograms of pure heroin.
In late 2023, Calverley received an email promising a payment exceeding $14 million.
This amount was later reduced to $10 million, contingent upon him collecting certain documents in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, and delivering a “gift” to an individual known as the “paymaster general” in Sydney.
He claimed he thought the money offered was compensation after he had been conned out of $260,000 in 2022.
He will face a sentencing hearing on April 22.
