A billion dollar international drug smuggling empire in the UK has been dismantled after a gang member left a van loaded with drugs unattended during a night of heavy drinking, triggering a chain of arrests, according to a report.
The drug ring, allegedly led by Paul Green, known as "The Big Fella," operated from 2016 to 2018. Heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabis were imported into the UK on an industrial scale, The Independent reported.
