William Marsh, 36, was described at Liverpool Crown Court as the 'ringleader' of a new criminal network
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.
Ian Harris, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that Marsh went abroad to oversee the hand over of high purity cocaine to couriers who brought it back to Liverpool. Over the course of the conspiracy period, he was said to have travelled to Turkey, France, Spain, Holland and Dubai. Marsh had fled before his arrest and was locked up for 10 years, released on license in 2019. But by spring of 2021, Hampshire Police investigated a network of cocaine and heroin dealers based in Southampton. A total of £500,000 worth of drugs were seized from a number of addresses.
