A muscle-bound gang boss that dished out punishment beatings to underlings who crossed him is appealing his conviction and sentence, a court heard today.
Ahmed Sabbagh-Parry, 37, was the head of a Liverpool drugs network raking in dirty cash by dishing out heroin and crack-cocaine to addicts on the streets of Cardiff. Sabbagh-Parry lived in a city-centre apartment in Liverpool but had a network of lieutenants, couriers and street-dealers working for him.
The courts heard he had been in trouble for heroin trafficking in 2009, and did initially appear to steer clear of crime after his release from prison, running a seemingly honest car dealership in Ealing, London, between 2014 and 2017.
