A man who was said to be the head of an organised crime group was a former "trusted lieutenant" in an international cocaine smuggling ring. William Marsh, 36, was involved in the conspiracy while still on licence after serving time for previous convictions.
Marsh was said to be the head of a new criminal network that sourced cocaine and heroin in Liverpool and sold it on the streets of Southampton in a conspiracy between March and May 2021, Southampton Crown Court heard, reports the Liverpool Echo.
In 2014, he was identified as part of a 'sophisticated ring' who smuggled cocaine from mainland Europe in to the Merseyside area. A then 28-year-old Marsh was said to be a “facilitator”.
