Two brothers in a notorious criminal group referred to as 'The Family' are fighting to hold on to a luxury house years after they were locked up.
Turkish national Mehmet Baybasin, now 59, was jailed for 30 years at Liverpool Crown Court in 2011, after plotting with a Merseyside gang to import vast quantities of cocaine from South America.
The court had heard that between 2008 and 2009 the organised crime group concocted a "sophisticated" plot to get a 40 tonne shipment of cocaine from Colombia to Britain. Much of the conspiracy was run via a telephone box on Old Hall Street in Liverpool City Centre, which the head of the Liverpool end of the conspiracy, Eldonian Village man Paul Taylor, used as his "office" to talk business with Baybasin, based in Edgware, London.
