An Indian-origin man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a court in north-west England for his role in a conspiracy involving firearms and drug offences.
Naginder Gill, 47, was convicted alongside Carl Ian Jones, 59, and Harly Wise, 29, following an investigation into their use of the encrypted communications platform EncroChat. Gill operated under the handle “indianocean," as per prosecutors. At a sentencing hearing at Bolton Crown Court on Thursday, Jones received a 30-year jail term, while Wise was sentenced to 25 years.
