Prosecutors are looking to seize properties in the UK and overseas linked to a successful businesswoman who played a "leading role" in an international drugs ring.
Former professional footballer Faye Dunn was detained at Manchester Airport after police rumbled the million pound cannabis trafficking operation. The mum became involved in the underworld when her business ventures began to falter due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, a court later heard.
The 38-year-old was convicted alongside her dad, 66-year-old Michael Dunn, thanks to the infiltration of the EncroChat network. Detectives working on Operation Venetic, the UK's response to the hack, subsequently identified Faye Dunn had been using the handle 'StiffNinja' and was in close contact with a user called 'LedZeppelin'.
