A Liverpool man who was said in court to be involved in an EncroChat based conspiracy is thought to be now living overseas.
Huyton mum Faye Dunn was arrested at Manchester Airport in June on suspicion of drug offences. Dunn was held as part of police penetration of the EncroChat network codenamed Operation Venetic.
The court heard that Dunn used the EncroChat handle 'StiffNinja' to communicate with a user known as 'LedZeppelin'. An opening statement delivered by prosecutor Nicola Daley revealed that Liverpool man Stephen Canty used the LedZeppelin handle.
