The leader of a drugs ring with links to Dubai, India and Iran netted netted more than £700,000 from his illicit dealings.
The organised crime group, led by Ricardo Hughes, moved hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of amphetamine branded with pictures of Beano character Billy Whizz. Investigations into the ring also brought down Andrew Lenehan, who boasted connections across the globe.
Gang members were previously jailed for a combined total of more than 40 years. Hughes was hauled back before Liverpool Crown Court this week for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
