Atiq Arif and Mohammed Sharif have been jailed
Two men who sold kilos of cocaine at a ‘wholesale’ level have been locked up. Atiq Arif, 49, and Mohammed Sharif, 43, both used the Encrochat handle ‘FlyingHorse’ to flog cocaine, amphetamine, ketamine and cannabis at ‘wholesale’ levels.
Messages sent from the handle showed multiple arrangements for the collection and delivery of drugs and cash. After pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply both class A and class B drugs, Arif and Sharif were handed hefty jail terms. The defendant Mr Sharif also went by ‘Dave’,” he said. He added that both were involved as an ‘organised managerial role’. For Arif, Paul Crampin said his client had suffered with anxiety and depression.
