Two dealers kidnapped a drug user before driving him around in just his underwear and beating him while filming him in a ‘degrading’ attack. The man, in his 50s, had been recruited to work for Ali Shah, 23, as a courier.
However, events came to a head when Shah gave the man £160 to insure the car he was using to deliver the drugs, but he instead spent it, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
On one occasion, Shah ordered him into his car and drove him around, ordering a 15-year-old boy to hit him, and make demands for the money back.
