A drug dealer who helped operate a £9m scheme to distribute cocaine across Britain kept details of his gang’s deals in notebooks.
Behnam Tavakoli-Juibari acted as the bookkeeper for a gang responsible for shifting huge amounts of Class A drugs. The 37-year-old is the last of the gang to be sentenced but was finally jailed on Friday, May 6 after being extradited from the Netherlands and admitting his role in the plot.
The group supplied hundreds of kilos drugs in England, Wales and Scotland throughout the first half of 2016, with eight members jailed for a total of 106 years in May 2018. The plot, which focused on the supply of cocaine but also included heroin, MDMA, and diazepam, was mainly run from the Wirral but collapsed after Merseyside Police’s Operation Wessex.
