The 51-year-old is just one of many criminals brought to justice, thanks to a long-running probe into communications between drug dealers on EncroChat.
A prominent drug dealer has been jailed after a police visit to a butcher's shop uncovered his catalogue of crimes.
For years, the legal EncroChat service allowed 50,000 users worldwide - 9,000 of them in the UK - to communicate in the knowledge that law enforcement would uncover none of their texts, reports the MEN. Berrystar shared the butcher’s name and when officers investigated they confirmed Cooper had spent £34 at the shop. Berrystar had also told one contact about spending £240 on two pairs of trainers. Cooper’s bank statement showed he had spent the same sum at the shoe shop mentioned in the chats.
Top news stories today Cooper was involved in payments and exchanges of cash amounting to at least £3.73million and was jailed for 15 years.
