Cocaine kingpin brought down by Conor McGregor mural painted on wall

A man involved in a major drugs trafficking conspiracy was brought down by a mural of UFC star Conor McGregor that was painted on his wall.

Cocaine kingpin Ryan Palin, 36, was found guilty of conspiracy to supply 700kg of cocaine, 15kg of heroin and 40kg of amphetamines at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday.

A jury was convinced he was the user of the EncroChat handle 'Titch.com', which detectives had identified after the encrypted phone network was hacked by French and Dutch police, reports The Liverpool Echo.
