Scots cocaine kingpin behind bars after Encrochat trafficking operation rumbled by cops
A crime gang member who was part of a massive cocaine trafficking operation has been banged up behind bars. Stuart George played a vital role in the crime which started during the first covid lockdown in 2020.
He had previously been jailed in 2010 after a £1.5m amphetamine haul was discovered in his flat after his boiler went on fire. George had been on bail for this latest case, but was remanded in custody by judge Lord Clark. He will be sentenced next month. Mr McVicar added: "These messages were identified as part of a much larger inquiry involving police forces in France and the Netherlands." The court heard George was being directed for the "collection and distribution" of cocaine and dirty money.
It is believed, however, the potential sum would be far greater if split and adulterated into smaller amounts for sale. Landscape gardener George, of Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, also received £5,630 in "wages".
