A heroin and cocaine dealer trafficked more than £5million of drugs under the pseudonym "Lawless Fly".
Liam McHale funded a lavish lifestyle by netting huge sums of money through the trade of illicit substances. But the "greedy" dad, who had a legitimate £40,000-a-year job, is now beginning a lengthy prison term.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday afternoon, Monday, that the 34-year-old operated on encrypted communications platform EncroChat and was involved in the supply of "multi kilo amounts" of heroin, cocaine and cannabis using the handle LawlessFly. Charles Lander, prosecuting, described how McHale had an "extensive network" of 65 other users saved in his contact list and detailed his business in notes saved on his phone.
