Properties, cars and watches are among the items seized from a drug kingpin who amassed a £28million empire. Jordan Talbot was jailed in 2021 for 21 years and nine months after EncroChat leaks revealed he was involved in a plot to flood the country with more than 500kg in heroin and crack cocaine.
The drugs boss was back in front of a judge at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, June 5, for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Talbot's defence lawyer, Richard Pratt KC, revealed that the 31-year-old had amassed a staggering £28,435,622 fortune from his illegal activities.
The court heard that the "top level controller" only had £400,000 available to repay currently. According to the Liverpool Eco, these assets included £18,000 proceeds from a sale of a garage on Moore Street in Bootle which he ran Moore Street Tyres Ltd from.
