EncroChat Bust Leads to 14-Year Sentence
Description
A 33-year-old drug dealer named Chaitanya Sharma just got 14 years in prison after cops cracked encrypted app EncroChat, exposing his massive cocaine operation worth nearly half a million pounds. With help from French, Dutch, and UK forces, investigators linked his usernames to 27kg of cocaine moved between March and June 2022. His home raid revealed stacks of cash, gold bars, and luxury gear — proof he was living like a king on his illegal profits. Sharma pleaded guilty to multiple drug charges, and this case shows how police are using tech to dismantle organized crime and protect communities.
