The first picture of a drug dealer who fled to Iran and remained on the run for six years has been released.
Hossien Tahmasebi has been jailed for eight years after he was arrested for collecting £90,000 worth of drugs cash in Harborne, Birmingham. The 44-year-old had travelled from his home in Leeds, where the National Crime Agency subsequently discovered nearly a quarter of a million pounds worth of crystal meth, further cash as well as evidence he had laundered more than £200,000 in a matter of days.
He was bailed in November 2015 and told to return to the former Steelhouse Lane police station in the February of 2016. However, he sold his home, fled the country and arranged for his belongings to be sent to Iran, BirminghamLive reports.
