Retired United Nations worker Paul Elson, 64, was linked to a stash of 36kg of heroin and 4kg cocaine with a potential street value of £2.7million, concealed in a Liverpool warehouse.
A retired United Nations worker and golf coach has been jailed for over ten years after he became embroiled in a £2.5million drugs plot - with 'no explanation' as to why.
He added: 'There is no evidence of a lavish lifestyle or a significant financial gain on his part. There is no explanation as to why he would become involved in this activity at this age.' The court heard that Cahill was observed by police arriving at Waterloo Warehouse as a passenger in a Mercedes on September 19, 2023.
'It was only when he lost his job that the financial pressure to try and maintain that status quo meant that he turned to doing this just to try and make some money. Now, he is going to pay extremely heavily for that.'
