Two men identified as major drug traffickers after chatting about their kids on EncroChat devices are starting huge prison sentences.
William Davidson, 39, and his right-hand man Steven Gorry, 47, were linked to the supply of 108kg of cocaine and 14kg of heroin arranged via the encrypted phone network, which was hacked by French and Dutch crime fighters in 2020.
The men were involved in the large scale supply of commercial quantities of drugs between March and June, 2020, and also arranged for their product to be cut with adulterants to increase their profits. The drugs were then supplied within Merseyside and across the UK, with significant quantities smuggled to the North East.
