Mark Beeby 'became more actively involved' in the illicit business following his sibling's arrest and as he sought to lay low
A dad-of-three who became drawn into an EncroChat drugs gang 'out of loyalty to his brother' has been jailed for more than 10 years.
Stephen Spence, defending, told the court: "It is quite clear here that whoever takes over that Encro phone from Stefon Beeby is not setting themselves up as part of the management or someone who makes the decisions. They are doing as directed by Stefon, who is quite clearly trying to keep himself at a distance.
"I ask your honour to give him hope for the future and to allow him to be out in a reasonable period of time in order to continue to provide for his wife and children. Deep down, that is the sort of man he is." "None of those involved in the manufacture were trained chemists, but the rewards were sufficient for those involved to overcome their absence of training so that high quality, injectable amphetamine was then distributed all over England.
"He enlisted you and he gave you control of that Encro phone. You were not so much drawn in as you were willing to step into the role he had worked." But the site was "abruptly closed down" when its operators realised that they were under surveillance. Undeterred, the OCG continued its attempts to produce amphetamine at a storage unit in an Aintree industrial site known as the Box Works.
