Gregory Lionel Denis Saint Maxent also admitted to disregarding direct instructions from the pilot, adding a further layer of seriousness to the offence. Before delivering her sentence, Magistrate Ingrid Bianco took into account the defendant's immediate admission of guilt and his apology. The €300 figure represents a net penalty.
