Paul Martin, 43, Peter Dickson, 34, and Grant Jaap, 30 have been sentenced to 13 year and 3 months.
Three members of a Glasgow organised crime gang have been jailed after being found guilty of flooding Scotland with cocaine.
The investigation is related to Operation Venetic, a European investigation into encrypted communication devices which used the Encrochat platform. Dickson, as Martin’s second in command was involved in the buying and selling of drugs. Jaap stored, adulterated, and distributed multi-kilo quantities of cocaine and diamorphine on behalf of Martin.
These conversations included one from Jaap to Martin on 27 March 2020 with photographs of clingfilm-wrapped one-kilogram packages of cocaine embossed with an “Oakley” stamp. Another message, from May, 14 2020, saw Martin tell Dickson to do some work over the weekend rather than “sitting mad with it”. Dickson responded with a photograph of a large bundle of money.
Sineidin Corrins, Deputy Procurator Fiscal for Specialist Casework said this sentencing should act as a strong warning to drugs traffickers.
