A member of the racist 'Mudmen' gang who stabbed a man to death is back in prison after being identified as a key man in a multi-million pound drug trafficking conspiracy.
Convicted killer Daniel Masher, 33, fell foul of the EncroChat-encrypted phone hack which exposed an organised crime group trafficking multi-kilos of cocaine, crack and heroin between Liverpool and Cardiff. As reported by the Echo, Masher is the only dealer at the 'Liverpool end' of the conspiracy to be caught so far.
The thug was found to have counted and packaged £864,000 in cash and being involved in moving 90kg of drugs. The gang was found to have been paying former Liverpool FC prospect Layton Maxwell, 43, to use his Cardiff home as a stash-house at the Welsh end of the conspiracy.
