He planned to hide the drugs smuggled from Holland in frozen chicken vans
A Lancashire businessman's double life running a £40 million crime gang was exposed after police hacked his phone and raided his luxury home.
These included a proposed import route, plans to hide the drugs in frozen chicken vans, and references to more than 500kg of heroin, cocaine, and cannabis. However the dad-of-two's plans came crashing down when the Encrochat system - used exclusively by members of organised crime groups to plan criminal activities - was hacked by police.He was arrested on December 16 last year after police raided his luxury home in Chorley New Road, Lostock, as well as Globe Recycling Services in Haslingden.
Defending, Peter Wright KC told the court that Bashir is the “primary” carer for his teenage son and mother, as well as a “core” carer for his father. He said that Bashir’s imprisonment would have a “disastrous effect on them”. Deputy Circuit Judge Elliot Knopf said that the quantities of drugs involved in the conspiracy “pass all comprehension” as he jailed Bashir for 23 years. “Ultimately you chose to involve yourself in this activity,” Judge Knopf said. “You attempted to reap the rewards that you say were available and have to pay a very heavy price for that.”
