Two members of gangster family who caused nothing but misery locked up - as dad flees

An Oldham based organised crime family flooded the north of England with almost 100 kilos of cocaine and heroin worth millions of pounds. Faizal Hussain Jnr has been locked up for 16 years for his role in the huge drugs ring, which saw class A drugs peddled in their home town as well as cities including Leeds, Birmingham and Liverpool.

His father Faizal Hussain Snr was also alleged as being involved in the plot. A court heard that he has 'fled from justice'.

Hussain Jnr, 31, was another of the drug dealers exposed by the hack of the highly secretive EncroChat network, described as being like WhatsApp for criminals. The gang were linked to more than 96 kilos of heroin and cocaine.
