A PIZZA shop operator will spend at least one year in jail for trafficking $37,000 worth of drugs.Don Ciccio's Pizza and Pasta operator Tony Bazzano was sentenced to two years' jail with a non-parole period of one year at Ballarat Magistrates Court yesterday.Bazzano, of Ballarat, was arrested on March 13 after a major police operation that included mobile telephone intercepts of the 45-year-old buying and selling amphetamines and ecstasy.During a one-year period between March last year and March this year Bazzano sold seven to eight ounces of amphetamines and ecstasy.Bazzano yesterday stood silent in the dock wearing a dark suit while Magistrate Kay Robertson delivered the sentence.There was strong support for Bazzano from the gallery including from his 20-year-old pregnant fiancee.Ms Robertson said there was a level of sophistication in Bazzano's offending and code names were used in dealing the drugs.She said the drug offences were regarded as serious but the scale of trafficking was not at a high range.The court heard a number of Don Ciccio's Pizza and Pasta employees had provided references acknowledging Bazzano and the Howitt St business had offered him employment once released from jail.While in custody, Bazzano had used his time productively and completed programs and cleared himself from drug use, the court heard."You have a high level of insight into your drug use. This suggests you have good prospects for rehabilitation," Ms Robertson said.The court heard Bazzano continued to offend after he was found guilty of possessing cannabis in April last year.The two-year jail term was also given for threats Bazzano made to kill his fiancee's brother and another woman over a rent dispute earlier this year.After being sentenced, Bazzano's fiancee had a short conversation with him from the dock and kissed him once.Bazzano last week pleaded guilty to trafficking amphetamine, trafficking ecstasy, possessing amphetamine, possessing ecstasy, dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime and making threats to kill.He has already served 71 days in custody.
