A yacht that belonged to a former hotel boss at the centre of a £60m drug plot is to be sold by an auction house.
Gary Swift and Scott Kilgour were jailed for a total of 33 years after they tried to smuggle 751 kilos of cocaine from South America to the Welsh coast. The drugs found on board the SY Atrevido had a wholesale value of around £24 million with a potential street value of £60 million.
Swift and Kilgour, both of Bedford Close in Huyton, were jailed for 19 years six months, and 13 years six months respectively, after pleading guilty to importing Class A drugs into the UK. The sentencing took place in 2020.
