A man who was once cleared of murder has been locked up for 12 years after he was caught importing 20kg of cocaine.
Dwaine George, 38, was using the name ‘Tenderpasta’ in the Encrochat network, an encrypted system used by criminals, to import the class A drug from Holland.
He was caught when GMP and NCA officers raided his uncle’s business at a joiner’s yard in Middleton, and intercepted a pallet.
