Aaron Bradford, 35, is the first person in Scotland to be convicted following a trial as part of Operation Venetic.
A Dundee man has been jailed for eight years after being snared in an encrypted phone sting that uncovered cannabis disguised as a Wonka chocolate bar. Aaron Bradford, 35, was captured as part of crime-busting EncroChat probe Operation Venetic. Bradford is the first person in Scotland to be convicted following a trial as part of the operation, which stems from data retrieved by French and Dutch agencies after they infiltrated the communication network favoured by criminals.
The judge said: 'These are very serious offences because of the harm which the supply of controlled drugs, particularly Class A drugs such as cocaine, causes to individuals, families and communities.' The judge noted that Bradford continues to deny any wrongdoing. Bradford was found guilty of being involved in serious organised crime and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs following a trial at the High Court in Dundee in February.
