A man who was on the run for nine years told police "he was tired" while being extradited from Dubai.
Michael Paul Moogan, 36, from Croxteth, went on the run in October 2013 after a raid on a Dutch cafe suspected of being a front for meetings between drug traffickers and cartels. The Café de Ketel in Rotterdam was not open to the public and could only be entered via a security system and was strictly for known faces.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) worked with the Dutch National Crime Squad and became aware of information that linked Moogan and two other British men to the cafe, which was the hub for Moogan’s conspiracy to bring hundreds of kilos of cocaine into the UK every month.
