Properties, cars and Rolex watches have been seized from a drugs boss who made an astonishing £28million from his underworld dealings.
Jordan Talbot was jailed for 21 years and nine months back in 2021 over an EncroChat plot to supply more than 500kg of heroin and cocaine. The "top level controller" was hauled back before Liverpool Crown Court yesterday afternoon, Monday, for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Richard Pratt KC, appearing on the 31-year-old's behalf, told the court that the prosecution and defence counsel had agreed that his client had benefited to the tune of a staggering £28,435,622 from his illicit activities. Of this vast sum, Talbot was said to have £400,000 available to repay currently.
