Paul Shepherd was part of a group that was caught out by police
Carl O’Flaherty, 38, Paul Shepherd, 45, Clinton Blakey, 38, and Dane Marshall, 42, all from Leeds, were found to be members of the crime group that supplied class A drugs across north west England. They have been jailed for a total of 49 years following an investigation that started when former footballer Shepherd was stopped by police while driving in Leeds.
At the Leeds property, officers found 13 kilos of amphetamine, large quantities of chemicals used to dilute cocaine and equipment that evidenced 12 kilos of cocaine was repackaged there. The economics of O’Flaherty’s business model were laid bare on EncroChat – he would purchase three kilos of high purity cocaine for £123,000, dilute the drugs with cheap chemicals and resell four kilos for £150,000.
Marshall, whose EncroChat username was ‘kingchef-uk’, was employed by O’Flaherty to dilute, press and repackage the cocaine blocks to be ready for distribution – a role often titled ‘chef’. He also setup a company named ‘Northface Landscaped Ltd’ to launder the cash proceeds of the group’s activity. He managed to escape again after being given bail in Spain but was once again captured in Marbella in May this year and returned to the UK.
