A cocaine kingpin nicknamed 'Titch.com' was connected to a major drugs trafficking plot after police discovered a garish mural of Irish UFC star, Conor McGregor, in his home.
Ryan Palin, 37, was identified as a major supplier of cocaine, heroin and amphetamines after an Encrochat encrypted phone network was hacked by French and Dutch authorities.
Detectives linked Palin, who had the handle 'Titch.com', to the gang after uncovering the painting at his home in Mereworth, Wirral, and matched with images shared on his Encrochat device - also used to arrange the supply of 700kg of cocaine, 15kg or heroin and 40kg of amphetamines.
