Two drug kingpins have been found guilty of plotting to murder a rival as well as smuggling millions of pounds worth of cocaine into the UK.
In what is being described as one of the largest EncroChat investigations in history, James Harding, 34, and his “loyal right-hand man” Jayes Kharouti, 39, ran a vast criminal empire which made £5 million in profits from importing drugs over 10 weeks in 2020 alone.
