Gang members were sentenced to a combined total of 40 years in prison for pushing nearly 50kg of amphetamine worth up to £500,000.
A gang who sold drugs branded with pictures of Beano character 'Billy Whizz' netted profits of over £1 million pounds. The organised crime group peddled hundreds of pounds worth of amphetamine emblazoned with the cartoon character, with members of the gang sentenced for a combined total of over 40 years in prison.
The gang members were hauled back in court this week for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Liverpool Crown Court heard of the huge sums conspirators pocketed as a result of their involvement in the shady operation, reports the Liverpool Echo. This amount must now be repaid within three months, or the 58-year-old will face an additional nine months in prison. Meanwhile David Hunter, who played a "leading" role in the gang, pocketed a £166,447.47.
