An EncroChat dealer planned to flood the UK with 100kg of cocaine from Colombia.
Dean Smith, who used the handle 'Swampmaster' was reportedly "close to the top" of the drug supply business and helped to supply class A drugs on a "huge scale" across the country. The 27-year-old, of Seymour Drive in Ellesmere Port was the direct supplier to prolific drug barons Mark Cavanagh and Michael Hailwood and worked alongside Dean Anderson , who was jailed last month, to distribute multi-kilos of heroin, cocaine and cannabis.
Alongside Anderson, and independently, Smith was found to have distributed 8kg of heroin, 19kg of cocaine and 30kg of cannabis nationally and into Scotland. He was also in direct contact with individuals in the Colombia region trying to import 100kg of cocaine into the UK.
