A cocaine dealing kickboxer supplied a semi-automatic firearm as part of a secret plot to shoot two brothers.
Liam Chung also directed the trafficking of huge, multi-kilo quantities of heroin, cannabis and amphetamine in the Merseyside area from his base hundreds of miles away in Spain. The thug who planned the shooting claimed that he "wouldn't stop" until his target had been shot.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Friday, the amateur fighter "operated at the head of an organised criminal group" involved in the supply of class A and B drugs. Alex Leach KC, prosecuting, described how Chung - of no fixed address, but formerly of Sullington Drive in Netherley - "relied upon a close network, whom he trusted to carry out his instructions".
